Here are the infield UZR figures in numerical form:
| Year | UZR |
|---|---|
| 2006 | 7.9 |
| 2007 | 10.6 |
| 2008 | -7.7 |
| 2009 | -25.4 |
Quick interpretation of the data - the Mets' infield defense has ceased to be good and is actually quite terrible. A far cry from the Ventura-Ordonez-Alfonzo-Olerud days. It's pretty tough for a groundball pitcher to succeed in such an environment. The topic of Mike Pelfrey's supposed "regression" is a popular one, and I'm glad that others have recognized his season hasn't been as bad as many would have you think.

Not fair
comparing to the BEST INFIELD EVAR.
But seriously, the whole staff would look better if the defense was better. Less Ole bullshit please.
You don't cheer for the Mets. You drink for the Mets.

Just know, if there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

Next year
-Jose comes back, that’s good. He’s no world-beater on D but Alex Cora’s range and arm were just depressing
-David’s UZR has fluctuated enough that I’m not concerned over one season’s bad results.
-1st base is a mystery
-2nd base is more serious especially for a righty GB pitcher like Pelf. That’s 2 straight seasons of abysmal range for limpy-Luis. And his career arc in terms of UZR is a clear downward trend from his GG years to now. He’s already at the bottom of the 2B pack. If he gets any worse…

Agreed
I think Jose and David will be solid, but Luis probably will not.

My dream scenario
is that Tejada continues to break out and is able to come up around the all star break.

But but but
His ERA is 4.83 that means he sux.
