By Career WAR as a Met, looking mostly at every day players:
Player Career WAR Best Season
Strawberry 37.7 6.7
Wright 30.4 7.8
Alfonzo 29.1 7.0
Beltran 26.8 8.0
Hernandez 26.5 6.5
HoJo 24.7 7.7
Piazza 24.6 5.5
Reyes 21.8 5.9
Mookie 19.4 3.2
Olerud 18.6 8.1
Stearns 18.5 5.5
Cleon 17.6 7.6
Note - Bernard Gilkey ties Olerud for the best single season in terms of WAR by an every day player with 8.1 though Gilkey had a total of 11.1 WAR in 3 seasons.
Pitchers: Seaver 75.8 (9.5); Koosman 41.8 (6.8); Gooden 41.2 (11.7); Matlack 27.0 (8.6); Leiter 26.3 (6.5). Gooden had 3 seasons in his career with better than a 3.8 WAR, all before he was 22.
My take-away from this is that Wright is likely to pass Strawberry, Gooden and Koosman by this time in 2012.
