Helped in large part by its 17-run performance in Chicago, the Mets' offense has averaged 4.52 runs per game this season. That's the fourth-best mark in the National League, trailing only the Rockies, Cardinals, and Braves.
Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Mike Baxter, OF | There haven't been any significant updates on Baxter, who is still recovering from his no-hitter-saving catch. | ||
Jason Bay, LF | Bay rode a bike on Wednesday and felt fine, but he's still a little ways away from returning. | ||
Ronny Cedeno, SS | Cedeno picked up where he left off before his stint on the DL, getting on base at a much higher clip than he ever did before this year. | ||
Ike Davis, 1B | Although he made plenty of outs, Ike hit 3 HR and slugged .818. | ||
Lucas Duda, RF | The Dude had a rare down week in an otherwise very good offensive season. | ||
Scott Hairston, OF | It's tough to have a bad week that includes a grand slam, but Hairston did. | ||
Daniel Murphy, 2B | The Irish Hammer is back! Murphy put up a 1.178 OPS. | ||
Mike Nickeas, C | Give credit when it's due: Nickeas had a .900 OPS in 12 plate appearances. | ||
Kirk Nieuwenhuis, OF | At least Kirk's lone hit of the week was a dinger. | ||
Vinny Rottino, OF | Rottino drew a walk in one of his final two plate appearances with the Mets. He is now with the Cleveland Indians after they claimed him off waivers. | ||
Omar Quintanilla, SS | In limited playing time, Quintanilla produced at the plate. | ||
Ruben Tejada, SS | Tejada hasn't hit much since coming back from the DL. | ||
Josh Thole, C | Eric noted Thole's struggles at the plate since he returned from his concussion, but he got on base at a .389 clip over this stretch. | ||
Andres Torres, OF | Torres didn't hit for average or power but had a .409 OBP. That'll work. | ||
Justin Turner, IF | Turner hit .308 but also had a .308 OBP. | ||
Jordany Valdespin, IF | Jordany didn't hit much and got sent back to Buffalo with the returns of Cedeno and Tejada. | ||
David Wright, 3B | Wright hit .385/.419/.615 this week. Ho-hum. |
