Tale of 2 different ball players. One already established who is struggling and one who is trying to prove to the ball club he can play every day.
The year for Wright is a lost one but who can pin point why. Yes some of the home runs he hit at Shea are not falling here but that doesn’t help when you look at his road numbers.
As the season has progressed obviously you see that hit to his noggin just exasperated his lack of power for the year. I mean now he has less homers then Daniel Murphy and Murphy now leads the freaking team.
Like a new worker you like to see some progress as the year goes on and at least with Murphy he seems to have learned somewhat and is on a tear this month. Ok so it could be a good streaky month for him. There is no way of knowing if he can turn into a 20-25 homer 100 rbi guy. He has of course benefited by having Beltran back in the lineup.
Wright who Mex says is slow catching up to the fastball just cant get anything going on except soft hits and mostly meaningless RBI’s. Of course he came through against the Phillies but that’s 1 game. He always went the other way when trying to break out of a slump. Not sure if he is afraid to go the other way now since he knows it goes to die at Citi Field.
Looking ahead to 2010 you cant just expect like Manuel thinks that Wright will get his power back. The Mets need to consider that in the off season. If he and HoJo cant figure it out over a full year it really doesn’t give me faith for next year especially now with no pressure .
