David Wright Aspires to be Met for Life

"Even though Wright's contract runs for three more years and the club holds an option for 2013, he said he would be willing to work on a new deal at any point in the future that would make him a Met for life."

GET IT DONE, OMAR

Announcing Wright’s signing to a new 20-year contract might be the one way this season’s crappy GMing could be redeemed.

The earlier you sign an extension, the less Jeter-esque it will have to be.

I'm a bit sentimental

But in the age of Scott Boras, it means a lot to hardcore fans to know that their homegrown stars still value one uniform more than others.

Some people on Metsblog don't like this at all

"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."

One moron,

as you so eloquently put it, said something along the lines of, David Wright had failed seasons in 06,07,08 and half of 09 because the Mets didn’t win the world series.

List of top 3 players by WAR over from 06-08

1) Albert Pujols- 24.2
2) Chase Utely- 22.9 (Rollins and Howard have an MVP but he doesn’t? I hate sportswriters)
3) David Wright 20.4

and just for funsies:

7) Carlos Beltran- 18.6
11) Jose Reyes- 16.5

WEZ NEEDZ A NEW CORE! DEEZE PLAYERZ FAILZ!!! NO WORLD SERIES ALL PROOF I NEEDZ!!!

Just so we know, Delgado is next at 7.3, Castillo (who wasn’t here for all 3 years obviously) has 5, and then nobody worth mentioning really.

david wright is a great man

part of me wants to see dubs get paid, because he is such a great man and great men should be compensated greatly. on the other hand, if he signs below market, the org go go use that money more productively on other people. plus wright made like 30 mil on his vitamin water deal, so i know hes not hurting for dough. tho with omar and crew around that money would probably just go to waste.

all right its settled then. everyone together in a teddy kgb voice “pay zat mee-an heez mee-oney.”

Lets hope that when gut check time comes again the Mets will pass it with flying colors.

Boo

let the bum go somewhere else and not win World Series. He’s a loser. I’d much rather use the money to sign real winners like Luis Sojo and Robert Horry.
