Mets Player Performance Meter: Position players, April 29-May 5

Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY SportsFolks, you may want to avert your eyes for this one. This week’s position player meter is ugly, possibly the ugliest since I’ve started doing these weekly meters, which includes June of last season when the Mets couldn’t buy a run. The Mets went 2-5 this week, splitting a four-game series with the Reds and getting swept by the Brewers. The offense posted a 47 wRC+ as a team this week, the worst in baseball, tied with the Miami Marlins. The only players with a wRC+ above 80 this week are Michael Conforto, Jeff McNeil, and Amed Rosario. Three players have a wRC+ for the week that is a negative number.
