Wins Above Replacement answers the question (from fangraphs): "If this player got injured and their team had to replace them with a minor leaguer or someone from their bench, how much value would the team be losing?" Negative numbers suggest that the average "replacement level player" (i.e. a bench player, a AA/AAA guy, journeyman FA, etc.) would be more productive than the output by that particular player.


-  David Wright is second in baseball (behind Joey Votto) with his 3.9 WAR mark and the only Met batter in the top 25.


- R.A. Dickey ranks 8th in all of baseball pitchers, trailing only Justin Verlander, Zack Grienke, Gio Gonzalez, Matt Cain, Chris Sale, Stephen Strasburg, and James McDonald.


- Johan Santana ranks 33rd.


- Ike Davis has the third worst WAR rating in baseball, "trailing" only Brennan Boesch and Casey Kotchman for that dubious honor. This past week has helped Ike quite a bit. He was alone as the worst valued player in all of baseball for quite a bit of time before his mini-hot streak.


- Fielding kills Duda and Murphy's WAR numbers. Lucas Duda is the worst single defender in the national league according to Fangraph's Fielding WAR values (-10.6) and Murphy is tied for second worst in the national league and is alone as the worst defensive infielder in the national league (-8.1).


- The best fielding Met, according to the same metric, is SS Omar Quintanilla.


- The best baserunning Met, according to fangraphs, is David Wright. Mike Nickeas and Daniel Murphy bring up the rear.
