I was quite surprised to find that the Mets are 30th, dead last, in the majors in number of DPs turned this season. (sources: mlb.com and USA Today's website).
That's not necessarily a bad thing. Teams with good pitching will often be low in DP totals because they allow fewer base runners, throw more strikeouts, etc. But I was surprised. I remember back during the first few games of the season the Mets were turning double plays at a prodigious pace (7 in just the first two games).
Fewest DPs turned, so far in 2007:
Mets 113
Astros 118
Brewers/Cubs 123
Most DPs turned, so far in 2007:
Pirates 169
Rockies 165
Yankees 160
