Mets Stat of the Day: Nick Franklin's place in Mets history

Where would Nick Franklin's 2013 season in Seattle rank in Mets shortstop history?

By Jeffrey Bellone

We have looked at this before with Stephen Drew. The Mets don't have a rich history of shortstops outside of Jose Reyes and Bud Harrelson. Although Nick Franklin played a majority of his games at second base last season for Seattle, he is rumored to be a potential fit at shortstop for the Mets. Where would he fit historically had his bWAR of 2.3 in 2013 been in a Mets uniform playing shortstop?
