Allstarjim Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 My vote is the face of the franchise, and perennial #3 hitter David Wright, who consistently chokes in RBI situations. He's the epitome of what Cole Hamels was talking about a couple of years ago, when he called the Mets "choke job artists". The writing is on the wall, move this guy down to #6 hole, maybe with less pressure he'll drive in a run from second base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 i vote wright too because i drafted him in the first round my keeper league two years ago and he single handedly murdered me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allstarjim Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 I only included Reyes because a lot of Met fans are down on him. To an extent, rightfully so. He has been hurt a bunch and he has big holes in his game, mainly his inability or desire to take a walk. He also is prone to the occasional brain fart. But he frequently hits the ball hard, gets a lot of hits, steals a lot of bases (when healthy), and he is a superb shortstop, really on an elite level defensively. I like Reyes and I want him to stay. As long as he can keep his OBP on the north side of .350, I think he's a big asset, because he can create a run without the benefit of someone getting a hit behind him. As for Wright, check his splits with runners on the last couple of seasons. Particularly number of K's and also in 2 out situations. Their is no question in my mind that he, at minimum, needs to be moved down in the order to 6 or even 7, I'm not joking. He simply lets the mental aspect of hitting get to him in those situations. That's not something any good team wants in their #3 hitter. Beltran should probably hit third out of the remaining candidates, maybe Bay when he comes back. But Wright is damaged goods psychologically, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubeck Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Definitely Wright. Although it is close one because Pelf has been pushed by the Mets organization it seems the past couple years as an ace in development and he is a #3 starter at best.

jranieli Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I would say that Beltran is the only one on this list who does not suck the most. He's been an ok Met. Pelfry has great stuff but just cannot put it together. I cannot comment on Bay just a bad signing. Reyes has been okay also. Kind of furstrating at his hacking and infield pop-ups but his defense has been pretty good. I think a lot of Mets fans are getting tired of Wright. I fully supported him for many years but I think it might be time to trade him away while his value is highest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jranieli Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Oh Ike Davis is not an option to trade right now. He is still young and I think he is going to be good. If they can get some really good prospects for Wright, I am all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphScott Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Our old friend xxi-xxv texted me saying this "If we can lose with Wright, we can lose without him" I'd entertain thoughts on trading him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandolphScott Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 i am usually wrong but i called that one correctly. warning track power doesn't cut it in pitcher's parks. He doesn't even have that. Dude can barely get on base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I dunno....I kind of view David Wright as the Mets version of Chris Chambliss... He needs that Reggie Jackson type to help him over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 He doesn't even have that. Dude can barely get on base. Boy I don't get it with Bay. I actually do think he has plenty of power, he's just not hitting the ball hard. He seems to not be seeing the ball at all... I don't know what his deal is. I wanted him in NY badly, and it's a case of be careful what you wish for. Right now, I kind of wish Hairston was playing every day in left field, which seems like a crazy thing to say. I have to believe at some point Bay will snap out of it and will go back to his norms pre-Mets uniform. But that might not be until after he leaves NY behind.

osi724dasack Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Atleast you guys don't have Aj Burnett. I've never hated a Yankee pitcher more and I also despise the way Girardi and Cash defend him. He's our 6th best starter on a team With 6 starters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
