When New York Mets fans think back to the integral components of the dominant 2006 team, names like David Wright, Carlos Delgado, Jose Reyes, and Carlos Beltran are usually among the first to come to mind. The Mets also had one of the best catchers in recent memory on their team that year in Paul Lo Duca, and some outstanding relievers in Chad Bradford, Pedro Feliciano, and Billy Wagner.
