Duda is off right now at a Sunday morning doctor's appointment. #Mets fear it's not something muscular, but a disc issue affecting his back.

Yes and no. Yes, he is a huge blow. But I'd be interested to see if we could replace with a more consistent hitter. Sure, we'd lose some power but as we can see with the best offensive teams in the league, they are way less reliant on HRs. Given the power that we already have, I think we'd be better with a more consistent, less powerful hitter. Just my opinion.

IMO Duda is going to basically be day-to-day for the rest of this season, no matter the results of the doctor's visit this AM. As to someone else to play 1st ... sooner is better than later ... can't rely on a 2015 2nd half every year.

Duda's "2nd half of 2015" was no different then his 2015 April and May and all of 2014. Didn't Duda even have back issues last year that landed him on the DL around one of his cold streaks? I wouldn't be surprised if the back is directly responsible for some of his ineptness, this year and last year. The Duda this year is not the Duda we are accustomed to seeing. Yes, he may hit HR in bunches, but when he's not doing that he still has a high OBP, taking walks, and rapping doubles in the gap. This Duda has been HR or nothing and his overall numbers are way down.

Losing his 30 HR pop and high OBP in the middle of the order would be a pretty big blow IMO.

That said we might be jumping the gun here. Maybe he needs surgery and he's out for the year, maybe he needs a couple weeks rest, or maybe this is an ongoing issue all year. I don't think we know anything yet.

I'm very curious on diagnosis. Herniated disc that requires surgery I'd think would have him back this season. The laser treatments they have now have shortened recovery times.

Walker, Cabrera, Granderson, and yes Wright are the most frustrating part of our team right now. Its bad enough we have zero's in the lineup like Campbell and Rivera, but when all the secondary guys are struggling too our lineup is seriously awful.

To me, our ideal lineup  
ZGiants98 : 5/22/2016 2:05 pm : link
would have Granderson and Wright 1 and 2 IF... and its a big IF.. they are both .350 OBP guys. Granderson clearly has not been that early this year. Wright has but he's been up and down every other week. Neither is reliable right now.

I love a middle order of Conforto, Cespedes, and Duda. 3 guys in a row with 30 HR pop who are also OBP guys all protecting each other lefty righty.

The 6th hitter in my lineup is TDA. A right-handed power bat that protects Duda nicely but of course he isn't healthy.

7 and 8 would be Walker and Cabrera suitable for the boom or bust guys they are.

Clearly things aren't going as planned.... Lot of season left though.

TDA is expected to resume baseball activities shortly so at least there's that. Probably at least a couple weeks after that though.

I just don't like Cabrera up at the top of the lineup. He's a .260ish career hitter. .329 OBP. No speed. Career wRC+ lowest of every regular in our lineup. Just not a fan of him there at all but right now everyone's struggling so why not? lol

If the mets weren't so bad offensively then I bet he wouldn't be hitting at the top of the lineup. I agree with you.

Duda being out wouldn't be a terribly huge blow  
Eric on Li : 5/22/2016 3:00 pm : link
Not saying it would be easy to replace the numbers he's put up the past few years, that would be impossible, but just as an example Daniel Murphy has never come close to putting up power numbers like that and we all know he'd bring other strengths that Duda doesn't have.

Martin Prado would be the absolute perfect fit because he'd also be able to play some 3B if necessary, or if Duda is able to come back later in the year. Just gotta hope the fish go into a nose dive over the next month or 2. I'm sure there are other guys that would fit though.
Walker is better than Murphy  
ZGiants98 : 5/22/2016 3:18 pm : link
So those that hunger for Murphy at 1B should have no problem moving Walker there. Personally, I think Murphy and Walker don't offer near the offense you need from 1B. If you want to go small ball though thats probably the best route. Move Walker to 1B and call up Herrera.
Ugh fuck you Walker.  
ZGiants98 : 5/22/2016 3:20 pm : link
My God he's terrible right now.
If Walker's comfortable at 1B I'd have no issue giving Herrera a shot  
Eric on Li : 5/22/2016 3:23 pm : link
though among internal options Flores will probably get another shot before Herrera. Really just wish Wright would move over to 1st because that would help in a bunch of ways.

They can, I just don't think they will. They probably feel Campbell is doing an admirable job at 3B and 1B filling in defensively. Yuck. Id remove Reynolds and Campbell from the 40 man and swap them out with TJ Rivera and Kelly. Flores can replace Kelly when he's healthy.

It's really hard to say that Walker is better than Murphy...especially this season. As it was, it was essentially a wash. Maybe with the slightest tip to Walker because of his defense. This year Murphy is blowing Walker out of the water.

No argument about this year at all. Murphy's BABIP is through the roof though. He's got to come down from the clouds eventually right? When he does he's likely a 10-15 HR bat, maybe a .300 hitter this year. I was mainly speaking for their careers though and yeah... they are close... but Walker has been slightly better.

Yeah, but even if Murphy cools off a bit, he's shown to be  
PhiPsi125 : 5/22/2016 4:15 pm : link
such a professional hitter that he'll still end up with great stats. He'd have to fall off a cliff to average out to be a .300 hitter for the year. He's having a year for the ages that he probably won't be able to replicate. That being said, I'd take Murphy the hitter over Walker the hitter 1000 times out of 1000. And it's not even close. Walker is the better fielder but Murphy doesn't seem to be hurting Washingtons league best fielding percentage of error rate.

they have been far better than I could have hoped for to this point. I knew Familia would be lights out, and Robles if he got over the 1st batter syndrome would be good. Henderson has been a pleasant surprise as has Reed.

I'll be more comfortable in September with everyone healthy and still pitching well.

I'm just never comfortable with BP's they seem so streaky and I'm poisoned by guys like Benitez and Heilmann who would have long stretches of greatness followed by high profile failures.

Relievers are always up and down and I don't want to go too crazy yet but I think this might be one of our best pens in Mets history. It has the carbon copy piece for every position in the pen you'd want. What I mean by that is you typically want your 8th inning guy to have closing experience(Reed). You'd want your 7th inning guy if possible to have some closing experience as well (Henderson). You'd love to have a high strikeout guy from each side if you had your druthers (Bastardo and Robles). You'd want a dominant closer (Familia is likely the best closer we've ever had). You'd want an excellent LOOGY (Blevins) You would want a good long guy who can spot fill in the rotation (Verrett or Gilmartin really). Bastardo covers you if Blevins is unavailable as a second LOOGY as well. We still have upside guys like Smoker and Sewald doing VERY well in Vegas. What more do we want? Its awesome right now.

That's why I said it in the offseason. Duda is one of the few players we could ill afford to lose. There are no backup plans that are decent. If he's out long term I move Walker to first and call up Herrera and hope Herrera injects a spark to the top of the lineup but it hurts the middle of the order. Another option might be something crazy like Conforto there and then maybe looking for a LF bat near the deadline again. In the meantime we could improve our defense by moving Cespedes over and rolling with lagares/deAza. Not ideal at all though. Smith is too far away, yes.
Hopefully Sandy + TC

ZGiants98 : 5/22/2016 4:57 pm : link
A huge outing from Harvey might launch him off on the right path for the rest of the year actually.

I hate to say it but I want one win out of the Nats series. Our bats are cold, we don't have our top 3 pitchers lined up, and now we might be losing Duda. Just don't get swept. We can overcome losing one game if we have to.

Only pitchers since 1913 with consecutive games of 10+ Ks, 0 BB, 0 ER:

Nolan Ryan, '87
Jose Fernandez, '14
Kershaw, '15
Syndergaard, '16
Yup. Added something similar in my recap  
ZGiants98 : 5/22/2016 5:21 pm : link
Noah Syndergaard becomes the first pitcher in franchise history with double-digit strikeouts and zero walks in consecutive games. He now has four career starts with at least 10 strikeouts and zero walks in first 33 games, tying Matt Harvey for the modern MLB record.

Brandon Nimmo is 3 for 4 with two doubles and four runs knocked in today for Las Vegas, it's still just the 6th inning.
Ty Kelly held out tonight

The thought is if Duda goes on the DL (likely), Kelly will get the call.

Because Herrera isn't going to play first base. Kelly is our hottest hitter in AAA and can play a ton of positions. At this point he's likely a strengthened bench piece while Campbell starts (Yuck). We have a bunch of spots we can use as far as the 40. Remove Dario Alvarez... Walters... Maybe move TDA to the 60 day DL.

There is some flexibility in the 40-man roster since Kelly offers more versatility on defense compared to Herrera

Because Herrera isn't going to play first base.

Ty Kelly has played 4 games at 1st in 7 years in the minors.
