The Mets' lineup has been a weakness all year, but that doesn't mean there haven't been good performances along the way. Over the last thirty days, the team's 105 wRC+ is the tenth-best mark in baseball, which is probably higher than most folks would expect.
This week's player meter covers the Mets' games from July 15 through July 28.
| Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andrew Brown, 1B/OF |  |
|
Brown couldn’t do much for the Mets over this span. |
| John Buck, C |  |
|
Paging Travis d’Arnaud. |
| Marlon Byrd, RF | |
|
Regression to his career norms could very well happen, but Byrd hasn't slowed down yet. With a .391 OBP and .581 SLG, this might have been one of his best weeks of the year. |
| Ike Davis, 1B | |
|
With an .819 OPS, Davis was actually decent. Perhaps playing in a platoon role has helped him a bit. |
| Lucas Duda, ?? |  |
|
He’s slowly working his way back on a rehab assignment. |
| Juan Lagares, CF |  |
|
Having shown virtually nothing at the plate before the break, Lagares was one of the Mets’ best hitters with a 1.109 OPS. That was good enough to win an everyday job in center field, at least for now. |
| Daniel Murphy, 2B | |
|
After several weeks of struggling mightily, Murphy has been incredibly good at the plate. Over these eleven games, he had a 1.063 OPS. |
| Kirk Nieuwenhuis, OF | |
|
After a handful of unproductive plate appearances, Kirk found himself on the way back to Las Vegas. |
| Omar Quintanilla, SS | |
|
The Mets, according to Terry Collins, won’t bring back Ruben Tejada anytime soon, but Quintanilla has been pretty terrible at the plate lately. |
| Anthony Recker, C | |
|
Did I mention Travis d’Arnaud? |
| Josh Satin, 1B | |
|
With a bad week, Satin is down to a .441 OBP on the season. |
| Justin Turner, IF | |
|
He’s back! But he still put up just a .300 OBP. |
| David Wright, 3B | |
 |
Wright hit .317/.349/.512 as he continued what might very well be the best season of his career. |
| Eric Young Jr., LF | |
|
Although he was impressive in his first few weeks with the team, Young cooled off quite a bit at the plate. He stole 5 bases despite a .278 OBP, but it was still a bad stretch. |
