MIKE BAXTER RUMORS & GOSSIP
David Wright’s super start, Bobby Parnell’s good week, Mike Baxter’s heroics

Unlike last year at this time, the Mets are under .500 and all of the buzz centers around Matt Harvey and John Buck. However, Wright deserves praise for getting out of the gate quick.

I think most people are in agreement that Baxter is a solid fourth outfielder and nice pinch-hitting option but hardly a...
