Dan Muprhy- He is a 23 year old whose position in the future right now is uncertain. He plays 1b, 2b, 3b, and LF. It looks as if the Mets will try to turn him into an everyday 2b which would be great because his bat would be above average at the position. Murphy has been described as a"professional hitter" and looks to me like a Kevin Youkilis type of hitter. He is very patient and works deep into counts. He will hit for a pretty good average around .290 with decent power. Murphy is known for his hard work ethic, which has and should continue to make him a popular player. He has been great for the Mets this year and his stats for this year look like this as of 9/16:
MLB: .360/.448/.528, 7 2B, 3B, 2 HR, 15 BB, 16 K – 89 AB, 37 G
AA: .308/.374/.496, 26 2B, 3B, 13 HR, 39 BB, 46 K – 357 AB, 95 G
Nick Evans: He is a 22 year old who is a 1b/LF/RF. He is mainly a 1b and is said to be a very good firstbaseman defensively. Evans has been overshadowed by his good friend and fellow rookie Dan Murphy. However Evans has been very good as well as Murphy. When he was first called up, he was overmatched but has been very productive as of late. The biggest problem with Evans is facing righties. Look at his splits this year.

Unless Evans can better learn how to hit righties, he will be relegated to platoon duty starting against only lefties. He does however crush lefties as shown by his stats above. Evans has potential to be an above average 1b or corner outfielder. Here are his stats for this year as of 9/16.
MLB: .270/.305/.400, 10 2B, 1 HR, 6 BB, 22 K – 100 AB, 43 G
AA: .311/.365/.561, 18 2B, 7 3B, 14 HR, 26 BB, 64 K – 296 AB, 75 G
