April 14, 2012; Philadelphia, PA USA; New York Mets left fielder Jason Bay during batting practice before a game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.

After watching Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy have another night where he generally showed very little power, his slash line stands at .308/.345/.369. Given that he was a doubles machine last year, I decided to examine his numbers more in depth, to get an understanding as to why he has declined.

The Mets may have sent two players to the disabled list Tuesday in Mike Pelfrey and Jason Bay, but they appear close to receiving a big league reinforcement.

As David Wright 's contract is dwindling down to its final final few months, the Mets are faced with the difficult choice of trading him, re-signing him, or letting him walk away.
