The Mets are hot. Winners of their last eight, they find themselves in second place, only a half-game behind the Phillies. Conceivably they could be in first place at the All-Star break. It's quite the turnaround from exactly one month ago when they were 32-34, in fourth place...

When asked about who could fill the void in the Mets' left field many sports analysts will say one of two things. One solution they will give is a platoon of Daniel Murphy and Fernando Tatis. While Tatis did in fact have a great season last year in all honesty what are the chances...
