Mets Player Performance Meter, Week 18

Although the rest of this year is clearly about looking ahead to the future, the fashion in which the Mets have played of late has still been brutal. The bullpen is ashambles, but there were some good performances by non-bullpen players this week.
All stats below run from August 15 through August 21.
| Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manny Acosta, RP |  |
|
The Acostalypse may be the second-best reliever in the bullpen right now. |
| Mike Baxter, OF | |
 |
Mike from Whitestone didn't get to play much, but the only time he got on base was a hit-by-pitch. |
| Jason Bay, LF | |
|
After a very good stretch, Bay turned in a true stinker: .095/.136/.143. |
| Pedro Beato, RP | |
|
Supposedly Beato is tired, but the reality is he just may not be very good. |
| Tim Byrdak, RP | |
 |
For the most part, he did his job this week, and he enraged Prince Fielder, which was fun. |
| Chris Capuano, SP | |
|
Plenty of strikeouts for Capuano, but they were outweighed by the three home runs he gave up to the Brew Crew. |
| D.J. Carrasco, RP | |
|
After another poor week, Carrasco's clearly the mop-up man right now. |
| R.A. Dickey, SP | |
|
The Mets couldn't take advantage of his pitching, but he was very good. He walked only one hitter in 13.1 innings of work. |
| Lucas Duda, 1B/RF | |
 |
With two home runs and a double highlighting his week, Duda continued to look the part of a major league masher. |
| Nick Evans, 1B | |
|
It's tough to pass judgment on a guy I can't see with my eyes, but my spreadsheet tells me he didn't do much in four chances at the plate. |
| Dillon Gee, SP | |
|
It's tough to get away with walking four batters in one start, but Gee did in this one. |
| Scott Hairston, OF | |
|
The only positive contribution for Hairston was a walk in his ten plate appearances. |
| Willie Harris, OF | |
|
His OPS was lower than Ruben Tejada's slugging percentage on the week. |
| Ryota Igarashi, RP | |
|
After a nice little stretch, Iggy looked like he may not even be cut out for the Buffalo bullpen. One of Omar's remaining mistakes, his time with the Mets is almost over. |
| Jason Isringhausen, RP | |
|
It's merely two innings of work, but these are some big numbers: 22.50 ERA, 13.5 K/9, 18.0 BB/9. |
| Jonathon Niese, SP | |
|
Niese defined the Quality Start, throwing six unspectacular innings and giving up three runs. |
| Angel Pagan, CF | |
|
2011 has not been kind to Pagan, but if he keeps this up, he'll finish the season looking very good for 2012. |
| Bobby Parnell, RP | |
|
He did allow one run over three appearances, but all in all, not a bad stretch for Parnell by any means. |
| Ronny Paulino, C | |
|
He singled twice in seven trips to the plate. Let's hope Thole continiues to see most of the playing time from here on out. |
| Mike Pelfrey, SP | |
|
His ERA on the week was inflated when he briefly joined the Terry Collins Bullpen Experience, but Pelf still did his normal thing, walking too many and not striking out enough. |
| Jason Pridie, CF | |
|
Although he only had a pair of hits, Pridie walked four times while striking out three. That's the nice way of spinning his week at the plate. |
| Jose Reyes, SS | |
|
Sounds like Jose may return soon. |
| Ruben Tejada | |
|
I didn't believe my eyes when I saw he put up a .471/.571/.647 slash. Arbitrary end dates and all, but I didn't think it was posisble to pick any six games in which Tejada did that. |
| Josh Thole, C | |
|
With a 1.167 OPS this week, Thole would get the comet here if not for that horrid bunt against the Brewers. |
| Justin Turner, 2B | |
|
If he's as banged up as it looks like he is, he should probably get a DL break. In the field and at the plate, it was a brutal week. |
| David Wright, 3B | |
|
Wright's second half started off very well, turned decent, and now he's in a slump. He should be fine. |

I still lobby for some skull-and-bones for the real crappy stretches
And, with a team devoid of a starting firstbaseman and right fielder, how is it that that guy only has four plate appearances?

Please…someone…anyone….tell me how is it that Evans only got 4 plate appearances???? That is a freakin crime! How many did Willie have over the same period? Too busy to go take a look. Argh!!!
I also like the idea of skull and cross bones.

this
but still, another enjoyed installment.
After getting hot, Ruben Tejada has now put up to 1.1 WAR and 97 wRC+ (99 yesterday) with a .363 OBP in 65 games. He looks like he will be a 2.5-3 WAR starter for a team some day.
I LIKE IKE!

Where has 2005-2008 David Wright gone?
I wish we could that guy. That’s one thing that makes me really sad.

At least 2011 Reyes is as good as ever
We could really use another superstar. Doesn’t look like we’re getting it out of the free agent pool anytime soon, though.

His strike out rates have gone down since he's returned
He has also drawn his far share of walks, but his power isn’t really there.

sorry, my bad...I haven't really paid much attention to him this season

Why can't we get Who and Whitestone's Own at bats?
It’s not like Willie Harris and Jason Bay will bring anything positive to the table.
Squeezed to Song and Bendtner and Song and Nasri oh lovely lovely lovely!
-Peter Drury, the one time his commentating has ever been acceptable.
i don't particularly mind bay
now that he vaguely resembles a major league hitter again, although i wouldn’t mind seeing him sit once a week either. that said, right field should be a rotating door of hometown hero, hairball and invisible man. pagan should be pagone every now and then for pride while i’m at it

Why would you take away PA's from Pagan and give them to Pridie?
Save Jenrry Mejia!
Keep Reyes, Trade Wilpon.
we know what we know about pagan
Pridie either needs to start improving or we find a spot for him in Buffalo/non tender him.

We know what we know about Pridie too.
He’s going on 28. He’s a 5th OF on an average team.

Keep Reyes, Trade Wilpon.
it isn't like the mets are doing anything
no reason not to give the dude one last shot in the last 5 weeks of meaningless baseball.

So then why don't we just play Willie Harris every day?

he's had inf more PAs than Pridie
and has shown what he’s capable of

Bay haas unsurprisingly turned back into a pumpkin
Pagan has played really weel lately. Pridie really sucks.

because they lack Veteran Grissioinz
and the big fat paychecks (well, in Nay’s case, anyway)

Regarding Turner
Seems like he should have been DL’d like 2 or 3 weeks ago. They could have called up Satin or Valdespin to play 2b. Mis-managed situation right there, since Turner has been awful.
owh? I mean who 2?
what are you talking about David..call up Josh Satin?

Very encouraged by Duda's performance.
Look forward to seeing him in RF in 2012.
If they move the fences in
not sold on his D. More reps will help. I’m afraid we may see him at first instead, though. Who knows what’s happening with Ike’s ankle? SNAKEBITTEN, BABY!
Seems to get a good jump on balls with a decent arm.Lumbering speed but to my surprise,I think he'll be able to play
out there which would really help.

Who here wanted to non-tender Pagan?
On other websites, I’ve seen proponents of such a course of action, but…

I've seen two comments about people reneging on it.
Here’s one:
good things to take away from the game
1. Duda is proving with every game that he can and will be an above average major leaguer.
2. Our cheap, cost-controlled backup SS is better than your expensive every day short stop.
3. Parnell is inconsistent, but when he’s on he’s unhittable.
4. Acosta has definitely improved his command, which makes him a viable option for late-game situations.
5. Angel Pagan is on fire, and looks less and less like a non-tender candidate.

Save Jenrry Mejia!
Keep Reyes, Trade Wilpon.
Wright is fine until he starts to think. Coming off of the DL, he lets his natural ability drive, then he starts to think, then he stinks. Or maybe it’s all of the late inning throwing errors taking over.
Shoot the puck Barry!!!
That's amazing that you can get all of that from a brain scan
or however you think you figured that out.
I know that because I've seen it WITH MY VERY TWO OWN EYES
Plus my gut feeling and mind reading abilities.

I have one eye that is a lot weaker than the other
Does that mean I only can trust like 75% of what my eyes tell me?

You have severe platoon splits, you should just "scout" players who bats/throws righty (or lefty, depending on what eye is weaker).

We'll have to adjust your opinion to the refraction. Day games might be a problem.
Soon we’ll be grading the scouts who scouted the prospects :)

He can't even see that no matter how many eyes he has
unless he has a “third eye” in the paranormal sense, in which case we should get him to eff up the Phillies’ hitters with his extrasensory awesomeness . . . or at least steal signs.
One thing I think we can be sure of
he’s definitely using his brown eye here.
