Surprise

That Carlos Beltran was a poor fielder that season, according to UZR

Interesting comparison ...

… Mets v. Phillies URZ for ’09 starters:

1b Howard 1.0, Delgado -3.5
2b Utley 20.3, Castillo -10.3
Ss Rollins 15.9, Reyes -.6
3b Feliz 10.1, Wright 3.6
RF Werth 33.8, Church 4.8
CF Victorino 10.2, Beltran 7.0
LF Ibanez -10.4, Murphy incomplete

I assume Murphy is going to be a better fielder than Ibanez, even tho he’s relatively new to the position. Otherwise, it’s advantage Phillies at every position. That was surprising to me.

That tells you about UZRs flaws, IMO.

No sane person would say Beltran is anything other than a top 3 defensive center fielder.

Omar's off-season contract strategy.  (Get it?)
(Yes, I'm having too much fun with GraphJam)
I'm doing a little study on the NL East and thought I'd share an interesting little tidbit.  To all of the self-loathing Mets fans/lazy 'MLB insiders' and journalistic parrots who have 1) Condemned the entire Mets organization as a joke 2) Written off this core's impressive run to date and 3) Deified the Phillies as unstoppable juggernauts w/ no chance to lose this division:

Yes, those wins are weighted towards '06-'07 and yes, the Phillies' are more recent but the fact remains that no other team in that span can even come close to the Mets total of days in first place, which should be garnering a lot more respect than it has.  If only because we still have nearly the same core in place that has clearly had a lot of success and health-willing can very easily do so again in 2010.
