Mets still have a nice group of borderline HOFers.
Many probably would go in as a member of another team, but all have played significant time with the Mets.

1) Keith Hernandez (5x All Star, MVP, 2 World Series, Batting Title, 60.3 bWAR)
2) David Wright (7x All Star, 49.2 bWAR)
3) Carlos Delgado (2x All Star, ML POY, 44.4 bWAR)
4) Carlos Beltran (ROY, 9x All Star, Word Series, 70.1 bWAR)
5) Robin Ventura (2x All Star, 56.1 bWAR)
6) John Olerud (2x All Star, 2 World Series, Battling Title, 58.2 bWAR)
7) Darryl Strawberry (ROY, 8x All Star, 3 World Series, 42.2 bWAR)
8) George Foster (5x All Star, MVP, 2 World Series, 44.1 bWAR)
9) Jeff Kent (5x All Star, MVP, 55.4 bWAR)
10) Curtis Granderson (3x All Star, 47.2 bWAR)
11) David Cone (5x All Star, Cy Young, 5 World Series, Perfect Game, 62.3 bWAR)
12) Dwight Gooden (ROY, 4x All Star, 2 World Series, triple crown, 53 bWAR)
13) Jerry Koosman (2x All Star, World Series, 53.6 bWAR)
14) Johan Santana (4x All Star, 2x Cy Young, Triple Crown, 3x ERA Title, 51.7 bWAR)
15) Bartolo Colon (4x All Star, Cy Young, 46.2 bWAR)
16) Billy Wagner (7x All Star, Rolaids Reliever, 422 Saves, 187 ERA+)
17) John Franco (4x All Star, 2x Rolaids Reliever, 424 saves, 138 ERA+)

I personally think Hernandez, Cone and maybe Kent have strong cases for the Hall.
I think Beltran eventually gets in.
