You get to more balls, you're going to make more errors, but you're also going to make a lot more plays (he's already recorded 104 putouts; he recorded 176 in all of 2006).

If your argument is that he's in the running for most disappointing Met, can I ask what numbers you expected of him this year?

Privately, the Mets believe they scored enough runs last season (799, tied for second in the NL with the Phillies). Unless they can pull off an unlikely trade of Luis Castillo and add free agent Orlando Hudson to play second base, the likely move is to add a backup infielder such as Alex Cora.
799 runs is enough. Don't score a run more.
