Come on David you want to be here then show us fans and Mets what you can do cause right now you are a liability when men are on base.

He’s been a very good Met, I will not say great yet. However, over the past 3 years, he has struggled terribly with strike outs, many in key situations. His fielding has been vastly overrated by many, he’s at best an average 3rd baseman defensively. That said, I’d hate to see him go, but Sandy Alderson should at least listen if and when other teams call.

Unlike Jose Reyes, whose contract situation will prevent the Mets from taking in a haul of prospects and/or young major league talent, Wright can still bring a decent haul. With Reyes likely gone next year, Beltran almost certainly gone, and who knows as our pitching staff, the Mets are not poised to be competitive for a few years at least. David will be on the wrong side of 30 by then. I’m not saying he has to be traded, far from it, in fact that day would sadden me (the same with Jose). However, for the best of the franchise, Alderson should consider it if the right deal comes along.

As I said, in an earlier response, Wright is a franchise player.

He may well end up being our second or third HOFer, too.

Last night’s loss sucked so badly, I just cringe thinking about it. Wright didn’t lose the game.

In a firesale you pretty much sell whatever you have that is worth the most in hopes of getting the next David Wright and something else in return.

There has never been a question about David’s dedication, work ethic or value to this team.
The question is are there enough guys around David to make all that pay off!

I have been critical of David;s approach at the plate. That doesn’t mean I don’t want him and it should not be taken as a statement of desiring to get rid of him. It is meant as a statement that our coaching is not serving David and the team well in regards to his hitting.

But let me ask you this…

If this team is destined for a rebuild and not ready to win a WS in the next 5 years wouldn’t we be doing Wright a favor by trading him to a winning team?

Basically I look at the Met players as my children. Can’t hate them even when they do bad things. I want them all to succeed even if that sometimes means they leave the nest to go and realize dreams they can not achieve if they stay home.

If this team is destined for a rebuild and will be bad for a few years then I just as soon see David get sent to a team that can win something for him.

I would prefer WE are the team that does that and prefer that we try and make a team around him that can accomplish it. But if we can’t then I really would be more upset about stifling his career and forcing him to play on a constantly losing team.

Lets hope Sandy finds a way to get what he needs so it doesn’t come to that!
