A review of Mets position players over the last seven days.
As has often been the case this year, last week was not a pretty one at the plate for the Mets. With a .191/.256/.268 slash line as a team—good for just a .241 wOBA and 54 wRC+—only the Rockies were worse than the Mets over the past seven days. There were a couple of bright spots among the team's hitters, but the bad performances were significant.
| Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eric Campbell, 1B |  |  | Campbell made 13 plate appearances but had just a .308 on-base percentage and no extra-base hits. |
| Travis d’Arnaud, C |  | | With a .555 OPS for the week, d’Arnaud had one of his worst weeks since coming back from his stint in Las Vegas in late June. |
| Matt den Dekker, OF | | | Thanks to the fact that he drew a bunch of walks, den Dekker had a .467 on-base percentage for the week. That plays at any position. |
| Lucas Duda, 1B | | | Duda had a rare down week, but it sure was a bad one, as he hit .087/.087/.087. |
| Wilmer Flores, SS | | | With a .333/.400/.556 hitting line for the week, Flores was the Mets’ best everyday hitter, and he made a couple of good plays in the field, to boot. This was probably the best week of his major league career. |
| Curtis Granderson, OF | | | Granderson was dreadful at the plate and hasn’t produced much with the bat in several weeks. He now has a 97 wRC+ on the season. |
| Dilson Herrera, 2B | -- | | In his first three major league games, the 20-year-old hit .222/.364/.222. One of those singles was the difference in the Mets’ victory yesterday. |
| Juan Lagares, CF | | | Lagares hit a home run and had a .713 OPS for the week, and he played his typical brand of defense. |
| Daniel Murphy, 2B | |  | Murphy sat for a few days before the team placed him on the disabled list because of a calf injury. It sounds like he will miss the rest of the season. |
| Kirk Nieuwenhuis, OF | | | He only got 7 plate appearances, but Nieuwenhuis had a .929 OPS and 168 wRC+ for the week. Perhaps he should play a little bit more. |
| Anthony Recker, C | | | Recker went 1-for-4 in his lone start of the week, but that one was a three-run home run that put the Mets in front of the Phillies. |
| Ruben Tejada, SS | | | Tejada hit .100/.100/.100. It wouldn’t be shocking to see him non-tendered this winter, assuming the Mets are capable of acquiring a new starter at short. |
| David Wright, 3B | | | Wright’s .313 on-base percentage wasn’t awful by 2014 standards, but he hit just .214 with no extra-base hits. Here’s hoping his shoulder gets well soon after season’s end. |
| Eric Young Jr., OF | | | Of the Mets who drew no walks and had no extra-base hits for the week, Young’s .200/.200/.200 line was the best, which is not saying much, of course. |
