Why Is Right Field A Black Hole For The Mets?

In recent Memory Right field has been a position that the Mets have been searching to solidify, but continue to come up empty. Guys towards the end of their careers such as Shawn Green, Derek Bell, Gary Sheffield and Jeromy Burnitz have manned the position over the last decade.  Also during that time the Mets have tried their hand at some younger players such as Jeff Francoeur, Ryan Church and Roger Cedeno.   The Position has been a revolving door since Darryl Strawberry exited stage right in 1990.   A lot of memories come to mind when I think of Right Field, most of them with odd twists to them.  I remember the switch of Gold Glover Mike Cameron from center to right makeing room for Carlos Beltran, which resulted in a face to face collision.  I also think about every time someone takes over the spot in right, how they mysteriously lose their stroke like Bobby Bonilla and Jeromy Burnitz.  Or how they are hit with some freak injury like Ryan Church’s concussion.
