Don’t Look For Help On The Bench

Is it possible for the Mets to go on a run when almost halfway through the season their bench has been a source of subpar play and performances that would cast doubt on any chance at a division title? What kind of relief can we expect from a bench that has a combined batting average of .215? Comic relief? 

If the Mets are going to make some moves before the trade deadline, they can start by adding some punch to a punchless bench. It’s no small wonder why Mets managers have been reluctant to give David Wright a day off this season. Look at your options…

Went to my first Mets game, a Mayors Trophy game at Shea, in '73. We beat the Yankees 8-4 and I was hooked. I marched in two Banner Day parades, and before the Grand Slam single, there was the "Hendu Can Do" grand slam - I was there. I've collected Mets memorabilia all my life and started Mets Merized Online to feed my addiction.

  • Good point. The bench has been our strength for the last few years but not these days. Another place for overhaul in the offseason.
