Daniel Murphy with a good chance to join that list this year, and then quickly drop off it after the Mets tear through the post-season.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

There is a top ten list of offensive prowess that includes Rey Ordonez?!?!

Gave yas plenty of time.



And look, he vacuumed the dugout.

[Edgy MD]
