New York Mets: Moving David Wright To First Base
12/02/2009
I'm a Freshman at Hamilton College, a small liberal arts school in the Mohawk Valley region of central New York. I am a diehard Mets fan, and New York Giants fan. I keep the faith, no matter what.
David failed to make the same adjustment the whole year-turning his back from the pitcher was his problem the whole time (slows down the bat, causes...
There were never "lots of mixed reports." There was one Tweet from Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse. Every reporter who heard it then said "we have...
TAB BAMFORD replied…
And then there were Jackson-Yankees rumors, and then there were Jackson-somewhere else rumors. But I guess...
I feel Wright would be a better fit then the golden goose Murphy. When Davis is ready it will all work out just fine.
Dave Meisel replied…
Yeah. Murphy can get a shot if they want to do some sort of platoon with...
Agree 100%. I've been saying this since August.
John Frascella replied…
Roy, pretty much all legitimate concerns on your part; however, I think you overestimate the rest...
Roy Levine replied…
it just seems that after 11 full seasons, we are beginning to see his legs start...
In interesting idea. If the Mets are taking 2010 seriously, though, they could bring back Delgado and wait one more year to move Wright to 1B....
It doesn't make sense to move Wright to 1b unless you are acquiring an elite defensive and offensive 3b. Figgins is not that guy. A-Rod would...
Dave Meisel replied…
You argue that David Wright is in fact a good third baseman-better than A-Rod. But I'm...
Taj replied…
That lineup really isn't good. And yes, Figgins was good last yr...a 6.1 WAR is very...
I heard this idea come up again a few days ago. I've kicked it around, and I'm going to make a case for it. I'm not sure that I believe in it 100 percetn, but, again, I'm just seeing where going in this direction takes us...
Ike Davis is a perfect first baseman for the Mets future. There is no way they will want to fill that spot before he arrives. Wright...
Dan Siegel replied…
Agreed...The Mets need to stop messing with player's positions once they have reached the Major League...
Wendy Adair replied…
Agreed, the hard work is evident, the results are not always there, but no one can...
Good article, Wright has always said that if they find a 3rd baseman who is better suited there he would make the move to wherever he...

I think Pagan is going to become a good late-bloomer. Already is, based on his body of work in 2009. I think he'd be a good...
Retaliate? For what? They signed a former Met, and? It's not a stab at the Mets that the Braves signed Wagner. He's the cheapest, and frankly...
