Mets' Semien Slump: Can He Turn It Around?

0:00On April 3rd, the New York Mets shook things up by trading Brandon Nemo to the Texas Rangers for Marcus Semyon, a two-time gold glove winner, and three-time All-Star Second Basement. They wanted to lead defense, but Semyon brings serious offense, too. Thing is, his start with the Mets has been rough through the first seven games. He's batting with an on-base plus lugging of 424, just three hits total, and only one double for extra bases. At 35 years old, this slump is way below even the low expectations anyone had for him this season. Semyon says he's not panicking, and Mets manager Carlos Mendoza agrees he's bound to heat up soon. It's super early, though, only 23 at bat so far, so his solid track record still counts for something. The team sitting at three wins and four losses, not the hottest start. He did snag a hit Thursday night during their 72 loss to the San Francisco Giants, a small sign of life. Now they face the Giants again tomorrow in the second game of a four-game series out west. Keep an eye on Semyon snapping out of it, could flip the Mets early momentum right around.
