He's a stopgap because they're short on outfielders. Angel Pagan (shoulder), Ryan Church (concussion), and Moises Alou (calf) are still on the DL and there's no word when any of them are expected to make a return to the lineup.

So far it looks like he's delivering.

BTW, I think it's BS the way they keep stringing Willie along like this. The Mets should either fire him now (and give up on any hope of making it to the playoffs for at least a couple of years) or publicly commit to him for at least the remainder of the season. This is the same kind of nonsense the Yankees played with Torre and they had the nerve to act disappointed when he told them to stuff their offer and walked out the door.
