[Benjamin Grimm]

SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE MONTH, MAY 2014

The Schaefer Mets Player of the Month for May 2014 is DAVID WRIGHT. This is David's first win since July 2012. He has been Player of the Month a record 14 times. He led the Mets in batting average (.320) and hits (41). His slugging percentage (.461) and runs batted in (15) were second to Curtis Granderson (.465 and 17) who held the May lead in Schaefer points as late as May 27.

The Schaefer Mets Pitcher of the Month is JACOB deGROM. Jacob is, obviously, a first-time winner as May 2014 was his first month ever in the major leagues. In 4 starts in May, he was 0-2, but had a 2.42 ERA in 26 innings.

The Schaefer Mets Relief Pitcher of the Month is first-time winner JEURYS FAMILIA. Familia appeared in 18 games in May and had and 0-0 record with 1 save and a 1.93 ERA over 18.2 innings.

The Schaefer Mets Bench Player of the Month for May is ERIC CAMPBELL. Eric earned 1.68 points in May in games in which he was not in the starting lineup, finishing ahead of Bobby Abreu (0.99) and Ruben Tejada (0.64). Last month's winner, former Met Ike Davis, still holds the season lead and has a shot at winning Bench Player of the Year on the strength of his April walk-off grand slam.

Now, thassa youth movement.

Smashing work as alway, BeeGee.

[MFS62]

Good job.
How many of dice-K's points were as a starter? Wasn't he in the bullpen most of May?

LAter

[Benjamin Grimm]

Matsuzaka had 3.86 points as a starter and 5.23 as a reliever.

[Guest themetfairy]

Superlative work BG, as always.

I'm assuming it's the first time that two rookie callups immediately earned their Schaefer cards.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think it might be, yes.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Loving the cards, as always! Fantastic!

[G-Fafif]

Standout portrayals. Jeurys at Shea and the hatless look for David when one would figure there wouldn't be much more to do with Wright after so many cards.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Thanks for noticing! Finding a new way to portray David Wright was definitely something I took into consideration.

I have very few openings left for David; I've already cheated once by going outside the 1970's for that Kranepool card. All that's left in my favorite baseball card decade are 1974, 1976, and 1979.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Outstanding. That deGrom card is deBom
