The Mets did not tear the cover off the ball this week, but they are still averaging 4.43 per game, fifth-best in the National League and well above the league average of 4.17. This week's player meter covers games from June 15 through 20.

Player Last Week This Week Comment
Mike Baxter, OF Baxter has been rehabbing his collarbone, which he injured on a spectacular catch in Johan Santana's no-hitter.
Jason Bay, LF He'll never live up to the contract he signed, but no one can blame the guy for not trying. Bay suffered his second concussion as a Met when he slammed into the outfield fence trying to make a catch.
Ronny Cedeno, SS Cedeno's been rehabbing in Buffalo and is expected to rejoin the Mets tomorrow.
Ike Davis, 1B Aside from his grand slam, which was awesome, Ike had a mediocre week after looking very good last week.
Lucas Duda, RF The Dude abides once again. Here's hoping his hamstring problem yesterday really wasn't a big deal. He's been one of the Mets' best hitters all year.
Scott Hairston, OF Still playing like the best bench player in baseball, Hairston hit 1 HR and 3 doubles in just 18 plate appearances
Daniel Murphy, 2B That mustache isn't going to save his gig at second base if he keeps hitting the way he has been lately.
Mike Nickeas, C Nickeas went 1-for-4 in his lone game played, driving in a run against the Orioles last night.
Kirk Nieuwenhuis, OF [something goes wrong in Star Trek]
Vinny Rottino, IF/OF Hitless in three at-bats, Rottino played a lot less with Ike getting back to full-time duty.
Omar Quintanilla, SS At .062/.062/.062, Quintanilla looked a lot more like Quintanilla at the plate.
Ruben Tejada, SS Tejada just joined Cedeno in Buffalo after two games with St. Lucie and is still a few days away from returning.
Josh Thole, C Thole only reached base via the single, and he didn't hit too many singles.
Andres Torres, CF Hooray for Kirk Nieunwenhuis!
Justin Turner, IF Turner returned when Bay hit the DL, but he went hitless in four at-bats.
Jordany Valdespin, IF He hit well and even made a few routine plays in the field.
David Wright, 3B Wright hit 364/.417/.455 without even hitting a home run, and he only struck out twice in 24 PA. Traid!
