Wright and Reyes Need to start leading this team.

They might be only in there mid 20’s but the time has come for the left side of the infield to emerge from there shells and start taking the team on there backs.

In an article from the
NY Post Wright is quoted as saying if anyone wants to lay blame for what's happened to us, they should blame me. I want that responsibility. I want to be that kind of player. Me and Jose, I think we both want that."

It is nice to see them step up. This is becoming there team. Wright needs to make adjustments going into 2009 and so does Reyes especially if he will be batting down in the order away from his # 1 spot. I would like to think Reyes will not lose a step.

When people speak of the core of the team, these 2 are the inner core of the offense. Wright needs to produce when it counts. He could have changed a lot of peoples perceptions last year if he just was able to get home a run when he came up with no outs late in the year. Reyes needs to start leading with his head and is ability.
