Comments on: Wright Decision: Where Should Mets Draw The Line On Years And Dollars http://metsmerizedonline.com/2012/11/wright-decision-where-should-mets-draw-the-line-on-years-and-dollars.html Fri, 24 May 2013 06:02:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Fredric Bobroff http://metsmerizedonline.com/2012/11/wright-decision-where-should-mets-draw-the-line-on-years-and-dollars.html#comment-306917 Fredric Bobroff Wed, 21 Nov 2012 19:10:32 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=101203#comment-306917 I am with you. Wright has been with the Mets long enough to show his ability. The Mets will never get a good return on a big contract. Trade hin for some value. The Mets need to reinvent themselves and go with young players.

Lets be creative to keep david. Like his getting the best out of the other players to show his leadership.

He is NOT a 20 mill a year player.

He said he won’t chase every dollar. Since when does lying about your intentions acceptable?

If he doesn’t sign for any contract offered that’s for over 100 million, he’s insane. He’s on his second huge contract.

Chipper always took less to stay in Atlanta and keep them competitive; why won’t Mr. Wright? Chipper never got a 100 mill contract and David IS NOT Chipper.

He don’t sign, ship him away to the highest bidder. Maybe the Mets can get D’Arnaud from Toronto for him. That’s a better deal to me, then Wright at any length being paid 20 million a year.

We have to trade him and I think thats why this is taking longer. Sandy has to look like he’s “trying” to sign him but we all know he hates 2nd generation contracts and I agree with him. Trade him already and lets move on with this…..we have ALOT to do by opening day.

DW may be able to get more on the open market, but that is slightly more than Zimmerman and certainly fair. If he balks by Dec 3, Sandy should ring up the Blue Jays and Rockies for starters.

No matter what has caused the drop in production whether it be the beam to the head, the new stadium or the lack of protection in the line up. I’m sure I won’t be the first to side with Wright but I don’t think Wright has hit his peak I still believe he has a lot to give and offer this team. I can see a situation were Wright gets a new contract and gets protection around him in the line up and we become contenders and Wright is the kind of player that can carry the team a true veteran leader. I’ve read a lot of articles about keeping Wright or trading him or about how much he should be given. I think he should be given a 6 or 7 year deal worth 120 million plus. I feel people are crapping on him cause his numbers dropped over the last 4 years. Sign him, get him protection and let him play.

Get as good and as many prospects, near MLB-ready, as possible. Deal DW and RA.

They have other issues to deal with and he has been on the decline. Trade him.

The mets cannot keep making deals that have the Wilpon smell all over them. He is not worth it, and definitely will be returning sub par numbers 3 or 4 years in. Trade now, if you have a brain.

Then PLEASE get Wright some protection. He rocked it with Beltran and Delgado in the lineup. Ike Davis basically fills the role of Delgado, hopefully they can get a slugger to fill the void of Beltran. Wright, Davis and Slugger would bring back a powerful heart of the order. Table setters like Tejada and Murphy at the top of the order would bring up more RBI chances. Now the problem is getting a FA Slugger (preferably outfielder) to come to NY lol

Do you think he feels that those two also were responsible for the huge choke jobs and had to go?

You are right, I shouldn’t have posted it. I will refrain.

That’s why you’re such a jerk because of this needling you do, then claim innocence, than have the last word on every post.

I can understand that thinking.

What if it’s 6/120 but structured like this
10/25/25/20/20/20? Does that make the deal any different? Again, it’s just so early to tell.
