The Schaefer Mets Player of the Month for July 2013 is first-time winner MARLON BYRD. Marlon hit .336 in July, leading the Mets with 5 homers, 39 hits, 20 runs, and 3 triples.

The Schaefer Mets Pitcher of the Month for July is DILLON GEE, who has finally broken the strangehold that Matt Harvey held on the title for the entire 2013 season so far. Dillon was 1-1 in July with a 2.88 ERA in five starts and 34.1 innings. This is the second time that Gee has been the Pitcher of the Month. His previous title was in September 2010.
The Schaefer Mets Relief Pitcher of the Month is, for the fourth time overall, and second time this season, BOBBY PARNELL. Bobby pitched in 14 games in July. He had 8 saves. 14 strikeouts, and a 0.60 ERA in 15 innings.
The Schaefer Mets Bench Player of the Month for July is first-time winner ANDREW BROWN, edging Kirk Nieuwenhuis (who finished the month in Las Vegas) by a razor-thin 0.01 points. (Brown scored 1.74 Schaefer points as a bench player in July, while Nieuwenhuis totaled 1.73.)

Note: The counts for Reliever of the Month date back to April 2008, while the counts for the Bench Player of the Month start with the beginning of the 2012 season. By next month, we will retroactively include the award winners for 2006 and 2007 for the relievers, and for 2006 through 2011 for the bench players. We would have done this sooner, but we've been battling a legal challenge from Brian Stokes' attorney. Our CPF Schaefer voting began in 2005, but because of the EZBoard meltdown, detailed information from 2005 is unavailable. 2006 is as far back as we can go.
