The Mets enter the weekend at 28-23, still just 1.5 games behind the division-leading Washington Nationals. The team's hitters had a good week for the most part, but there were a few Mets who struggled.
Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Mike Baxter, OF | Whitestone's finest didn't get on base much but had some pop in his bat. | ||
Jason Bay, LF | Still not on a rehab assignment. | ||
Ronny Cedeno, SS | Didn't hit much besides the DL this week. Burn! | ||
Ike Davis, 1B | Not much power here, but an improved slash line: .286/.375/.357. Baby steps. | ||
Lucas Duda, RF | Adam Dunn Jr. this week: .217 average with a .966 OPS, 9 K, 4 BB, 3 HR. | ||
Scott Hairston, OF | 1.500 OPS this week. Bench players don't get much better than this. | ||
Jeremy Hefner, P | Pitchers rarely make it to the hitters' player meter, but the dude hit a home run. | ||
Rob Johnson, C | Johnson was decent but has a shot to stick around when the Mets officially activate Thole today. | ||
Daniel Murphy, 2B | Depite a few defensive miscues, Murphy's .385 OBP made for a good week, but his power is still MIA. | ||
Mike Nickeas, C | He did hit a grand slam, but the rest was not so good. | ||
Kirk Nieuwenhuis, OF | All singles, no walks: .312/.312/.312. | ||
Vinny Rottino, 1B | I'll go with Lucas Duda Jr. here: .231 average, 1.025 OPS, 4 K, 2 BB, 2 HR. | ||
Omar Quintanilla, SS | For a guy with awful career hitting numbers, Quintanilla surprised everyone with a single and a pair of doubles in his first two games with the Mets. | ||
Ruben Tejada, SS | He may or may not have had a setback, depending on who you ask. | ||
Josh Thole, C | Thole returns today. Woohoo! | ||
Andres Torres, OF | He only started in 3 of the Mets' 7 games, but he looked good at the plate when he played. | ||
Justin Turner, IF | Turner played well in four games but jammed his ankle into first base in an attempt to get out of a rundown. He'll be out for a bit. | ||
Jordany Valdespin, IF/OF | One hitless plate appearance for Valdespin so far since his third recall of the season. | ||
David Wright, 3B | [Insert "Wright is human" cliche here.] |
