Over the past week, the Mets had little trouble scoring runs. With a pair of 11-run games, the team scored 38 runs in total over seven games, an average of 5.42 runs per game. Aside from a couple of struggling rookies, the individual performances at the plate this week were pretty good.
This week's player meter covers Mets games from August 26 through September 1.
| Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andrew Brown, OF |  |  | Brown only got on base 26 percent of the time, but he flashed a little bit of power and looks like he's capable of earning a benhc spot for 2014. |
| John Buck, C | | -- | Buck didn't play in any games this week before getting traded to the Pirates. As a Met, he had a .287 wOBA and 82 wRC+. |
| Marlon Byrd, RF | |  | Byrd picked up a couple of hits in his final game with the Mets and is off doing his thing in Pittsburgh. |
| Travis d'Arnaud, C | | | It was an ugly week at the plate for the rookie, who had just a .523 OPS and 6 K to 1 BB. Someone out there is probably calling for a TRAID. |
| Ike Davis, 1B | | & | Despite an impressive opposite field home run in Washington, Davis had a mediocre week at the plate and is now sidelined with a strained oblique, likely for the rest of the season. |
| Matt den Dekker, CF | -- | | Called up to the big leagues for the first time this week, den Dekker hit a long home run last night and posted an .808 OPS in 13 plate appearances. |
| Lucas Duda, 1B | | | Duda was only a singles hitter this week, but that's not terrible when accompanied by a .385 OBP. |
| Wilmer Flores, 3B | | | Perhaps his barking ankle hindered his approach at the plate, as Flores hit .067/.067/.067. |
| Juan Lagares, CF | | | Weeks like this one-.348/.400/.435 with continued good defense—make it easier to dream on a bright future for Lagares in center field. |
| Daniel Murphy, 2B | | | Well, hello, good Murph, it's nice to see you again! The streaky second baseman hit .448 with a 1.069 OPS. |
| Omar Quintanilla, SS | | | While Quintanilla's .666 OPS on the week sounds pretty terrible, it's just a shade below the major league average .678 mark for shortstops. |
| Anthony Recker, C | -- | | Back in the big leagues with Buck gone, Recker had a 2.750 OPS. Sure, it was only 4 plate appearances, but gaudy small sample stats can be fun. |
| Josh Satin, 1B | | | With Davis on the shelf, Satin figures to see all of the action from here on out against left-handed starting pitcher. In four games this week, he was neither great nor awful. |
| Justin Turner, IF | | | By role player standards, Turner had a good week at the dish. By fWAR, however, he's still been sub-replacement on the season after posting a couple of slightly positive marks in 2011 and 2012. |
| David Wright, 3B | | | Wright's down in Port St. Lucie continuing his rehab on his hamstring and hopes to make a return this season. |
| Eric Young Jr. | | | After a few good weeks upon arriving with the Mets, Young cooled off quite a bit. This week, however, was like those early ones, as he put up a .423 OBP and .500 SLG and stole 5 bases without getting caught. |
