The following table is rated MA for graphic displays of offensive ineptitude. Reader discretion is advised.
| Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mike Baxter, OF |  |
|
With a couple of extra-base hits, Baxter was one of the Mets' better hitters. He figures to have a good shot at making the team in 2013 in a reserve outfielder role. |
| Jason Bay, LF |  |
|
With all of the struggling hitters surrounding him, Bay still managed to have the worst offensive week. He reached base zero times in seven plate appearances, striking out thrice. |
| Ronny Cedeno, SS | |
|
Cedeno continues his improbable productive season at the plate. |
| Ike Davis, 1B | |
|
Davis hit a home run and managed a .300 average and .417 on-base percentage. Well done, Ike. |
| Scott Hairston, OF | |
|
His .583 OPS only looks decent in comparison to his teammates. |
| Daniel Murphy, 2B | |
|
Far from the Irish Hammer with a .318 OPS. |
| Kelly Shoppach, C |  |
|
Shoppach's here to crush lefties, but he didn't crush much of anything this week. |
| Ruben Tejada, SS | |
|
At .190/.227/.286, this is not the Tejada of weeks past. |
| Josh Thole, C | |
|
A bad season at the plate got worse with a Nickeas-like .000/.083/.000 slash line. |
| Andres Torres, CF | |
|
A .355 OPS? Well, that wasn't the worst on the team. |
| Justin Turner, IF | |
|
He only had eight plate appearances, but Turner turned out a .929 OPS. |
| Jordany Valdespin, OF | |
|
With a .481 OPS, it looks like opposing pitchers are taking advantage of Valdespin's complete lack of plate discipline. |
| David Wright, 3B | |
|
Wright hit for neither average nor power, and his .385 OBP was almost entirely the result of four intentional walks. |
This week's player meter covers games from August 18 through 23.
