Bay is killing the Mets?

From the Post…

Bay is killing the Mets. It’s not all his fault, of course, the team is 16-20 and last in the NL East — David Wright has slumped badly, the pitching staff was a mess in April and the team’s lack of depth has hurt. But then there is Bay.

via Bottoming-out Bay still has support of Mets manager – NYPOST.com.

From the game notes…

The Mets are 11-5 in games Bay plays since his return to the lineup, including 7-1 at Citi Field

I understand that Jason’s offensive numbers aren’t so good but what about defense and lineup presence/protection?

Carlos Beltran – RF

Jason Bay – LF

Daniel Murphy – 1B
