Line of the Day: David Wright
2008-05-30 01:45:00 Wright had his first two-homer game of the year tonight. Heading into today he was ranked #22 overall in the Yahoo game, so he's been a dependable top-five pick to this point, though he's not winning anyone any leagues by himself. In '07, Wright got better as the year went on. No reason to expect any different this season.David Wright: 2-for-4, 2 runs, 2 HR, 4 RBI

Dontrelle Willis, Ryan Howard, And David Wright Chilling Out, Having A Good
2008-03-24 02:05:00 The Detroit Tigers’ Dontrelle Willis prepares for life after baseball by interviewing Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies and David Wright of the New York Mets. The question that Willis wants answered to most is “Who’s the toughest pitcher you’ve faced?” and he’s begging for the answer to be him. Ryan Howard took the diplomatic way out by saying the D-Train is one of the best pitchers in the game but David Wright didn’t hold back. Dontrelle: Who’s one of the toughest pitchers you’ve faced in the league man and why? David: I would say you but I own you. Classic. For the record Wright is 14-39 (.359) with 1 hr and 8 rbi against Willis. Dontrelle cracked back by saying it’s gonna be Tigers-Phillies in the World Series, but it was too late. Wright got him again. Tags: Dontrelle Willis, Ryan Howard, David Wright, Detroit Tigers, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, video, youtube, utube Share/Email This

A-Rod or not, Mets star David Wright preparing to stay put at third base (A
2007-11-12 22:17:00 David Wright already started his offseason workouts — and, yes, they’re at third base. “I don’t own any other gloves,” the New York Mets star said with a smile Monday. Wright recently had his chat with general manager Omar Minaya and is preparing to stay put at third next season — whether or not the ...

A Sore Losing Clinic
2007-11-11 22:56:00 Chipper Jones may not flub too many grounders during the season, but off the field, he makes plenty of errors:According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Chipper Jones is a bit baffled by David Wright winning the NL Gold Glove. "When I find out [Wright won] I was speechless, for quite some time," Jones said. "Certainly the guys with the least amount of errors and best fielding percentage quite obviously didn't win it."Fortunately, Gold Glove Awards aren't necessarily handed out to the guys with the least amount of errors and the highest fielding percentage. Well, OK, pretty frequently they are, but they shouldn't be; we have far more telling defensive stats at our disposal. Jones did have fewer errors and a higher FP than Wright, but he also had a .662 RZR, compared to Wright's .689, and he finished at 1 FRAA, compared to Wright's 5 FRAA. I'm not saying Wright was the best choice; Pedro Feliz, Scott Rolen, Ryan Zimmerman, and Aramis Ramirez all probably had better claims t...
DAVID WRIGHT WOULD MOVE FOR A-ROD
2007-11-01 09:25:00 The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has lost a little off it’s fastball, and it’s still one of the best shows on television. On Wednesday, Jon was joined by New York Mets third baseman, David Wright. The conversation briefly touched on the epic collapse by the Mets, Wright partying, and his thoughts on the NYM’s offseason needs. Alex Rodriguez’s name came up and led to the highlight of the interview. JS: Alex Rodriguez opted out of his Yankees contract, he’s a third baseman, they say ‘maybe the Mets will go after him’.. You’re the Mets third baseman.. Do you call them up and go “heeellooooo”? DW: You know, just seeing the way that Boston celebrated, seeing the winners of World Series, first and foremost I wanna win, so am I saying that I would change positions for a guy like Alex Rodriguez? If the front office called me and said ‘hey look, we wanna make this team better and you’re involved’, I would absolutely...

David Wright = Fantasy Bust Update
2007-09-06 16:23:00 David Wright = Fantasy Bust Update Here’s a cut and paste of the original November 2006 Prediction: David Wright will hit less than 17 HR In Wright?s first season and a half in the majors, he tore the cover off the ball. But after the 2006 Home Run Derby, Mr. Potty mouth Wright seemed to lose his power. Now I?m not saying that the HR derby is directly attributable to the HR decline (although the same thing happened to Abreu), but in the post all-star split Wright hit only 6 HR in 243 AB, for a rate of 1 HR per 40.5 AB. In the first half he hit 20 and had a rate of 1 HR per 16.95 AB. Whether trading in the market, gambling or in most facets of life, many will succumb to what is called ?outcome bias?. Outcome Bias means pretty much what you would think. One?s overall assessment of the decision is based upon its success rate, not the logic used to come to the original conclusion. Now, I?m certainly not saying that right and wrong have no value. Far from it. However, by using th...

Don't Disrespect David Wright
2007-06-24 18:58:00 (From MetsLifer.com) I was shocked tonight when the Oakland A's intentionally walked Carlos Beltran in the bottom of the ninth with Ramon Castro on second base as the winning run. First of all they haven't been watching Beltran swing the bat lately in clutch situations. Don't they know just throw

Mets Dominate Standings, and Voting [David Stefanini]
2007-05-30 02:12:00 The Senior Circuit ballot, which hold the first votes for the All-Stars, have returned back and the results are one-sided.Of the 8 positions on the NL All-Star team, if the game was held right now, half of the team would be New York Mets. Don't forget, those are just the starters. Those players would be:CF - Carlos Beltran (leading vote getter for the NL)SS - Jose Reyes3B - David WrightC - Paul Lo DucaThis year can be something very special for the New York Mets. As Mark English has pointed out earlier, we can not forget that Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez is going to be the ace of the team in the second half of the season. Reports so far have been all very positive about Pedro. Many scouts are saying he is looking like the Pedro of old and is healthier than he has been in the recent past.They are a team full of All-Stars, but unlike the Yankees, they have a cohesiveness about them. They seem to be having fun in the dugout, smiling, and laughing all the time. It's very early in the ...

David Wright NY Magazine
2007-04-03 05:06:00 Laren Starke the communication director at New York Magazine past along the following abstract from the David Wright interview:In this week’s issue of New York magazine, on newsstands today and online at http://nymag.com/news/features/-30019/, contributing editor David Amsden profiles the NY Mets’ third-baseman David Wright. With his dimples and packageable fifties charm, Wright is emerging as a heartthrob to rival Derek Jeter—the women want to marry him, the men…also want to marry him. How can his teammates stand it?David Wright on women:“I don’t want to put them in the same category as drugs, but women can be a … a distraction. I have to remember, baseball is the reason I have my apartment, baseball is the reason I’m on the cover of video games—baseball is what I do. I’m not saying I don’t ever … I mean, I go on dates, but I’ll just never let something like that become as important as the game. Not right now, at least.”Mets’ catcher Paul Lo Duca on Wri...
