Who's Hot and Who's Not

Starting today, after every home or away stand of 6 games or more Im going to update you all on 2 to 3 player who are literally walking around in the clubhouse on fire with no need to be extinguished and who's chilling with Jason Bay in the Canadian frosty weather. After the first home stand the Amazin's are a respectable 4-2 with a sweep of the Chipper Jones-less Braves and 1 out of 3 wins against the Nationals.

Who's Hot

• David Wright- .583 AVG, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 4 BB

Wright started the year so HOT that the only thing that could cool him off was a slightly fractured pinkie. And even that is looking like it wont keep him away from playing against the Phils. 

• Ruben Tejeda- .333 AVG, 2 RBI, 4 BB, 4 2B

"Muscles" Tejeda is slugging .524 and is the early league leader in the doubles category (tied with Yadier Molina). Mix that in with good defense 

at SS and we have ourselves a very special player. Jose Who???

• Frank Francisco- 0.00 ERA, 3/3 Saves, 4 K's

None of the Mets past closers since 2000 have ever converted saves in the

first three games on the season until now. Frankie Frank was flat out deadly

against the Braves. It's a reminder to fans that Spring Training Stats truly

mean jack.

Who's Not

• Jason Bay- .158 AVG, 8 K's (42% K rate)

This list has been Bay's home for the past two years. I see no reason to take him off yet.

• Ike Davis- .050 AVG, 9 K's (45% K rate), 1 Hit

Oh man....I think that simulation I did last week may be on to something. Davis

is just flat out not timing his swing right. He's too quick at the plate at the moment

and that's causing him to take some awfully bad swings at the plate. Timing is 

fixable though. Hopefully a HR against the Phils will be the spark he needs.

• Miguel Batista- 7.71 ERA,  5 BB's (33% BB rate), AVGA .333

Somebody please tell me why he was a lock for the roster? Batista wasn't 

very good in Spring Training, and he's even worse now. I honestly would

rather have DJ Carrasco right now. If I'm TC, keep the scrub in the back 

of the bullpen. When Mejia is healthy and ready to pitch in AAA again,

bring up Schwinden to be the long man and release the old fart.
