Kris Benson

Kristin James Benson
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 195 lbs.
Born: November 7, 1974 in Superior, WI
Drafted: 1st round 1996 by the Pittsburgh Pirates
Acquired: traded from the Pirates with Jeff Keppinger for Jose Bautista, Ty Wigginton, and Matt Peterson, July 2004
Departed: traded to the Baltimore Orioles for Jorge Julio and John Maine, January 2006

 

A former first-round draft pick with the Pirates, Kris joined the Mets at the trading deadline for the 2004 season. His abrupt departure before the 2006 season was not entirely attributable to his talents or the Mets' desire to have him in their rotation; enough said. His 2002 Fleer Tradition card is pictured here, and there are many more cards pictured below.
