David Wright Has A Stress Fracture In His Lower Back
by Eric Simon on May 16, 2011 4:32 PM EDT
Email
PrintDavid Wright, whose 43 strikeouts are tenth in baseball and who was a late scratch from tonight's lineup, has a stress fracture in his lower back and will miss an undisclosed amount of time. The Mets will seek a second opinion before deciding whether a trip to the disabled list is in Wright's immediate future.
Wright is hitting just .226/.337/.404 this season and there was some speculation weeks ago that he might be concealing an injury. Mind you, even with a wonky back Wright has the eighth-best wOBA among big league third basemen and managed to belt what turned out to be a game-winning home run against the Astros on Friday.
It's not yet clear how or when Wright first sustained the injury, but early reports suggest that he might have hurt his back carrying the Mets' offense last season.
Willie Harris will get the start tonight in Wright's place, which is the very definition of adding insult to injury.

Perfect time for Zach Lutz to get his chance in the majors
except that he’s on the DL.

Call a choppa
we need to get David out of there now
What a wuss
Actually, i thought it was from the Carlos Lee play in April. A Yankee fan colleague actually did say Wright was a wuss for even mentioning that his back hurt a week or so ago. I guess it’s more Yankee style to age until you suck and then throw a hissy fit when asked to bat 9th.
Anyone else secretly hoping this stress fracture happened in like April of 2009?

I LIKE IKE!
I'm never happy to hear about an injury
but it is kind of comforting to know that there’s something behind the mountainous, whipped-cream topped banana split of suck we’ve been seeing.
(and yes, I know I mentioned David Wright and whipped cream in the presence of “Wright Girl.” Sorry!)
something, for sure
but DW has been swinging at a lot of shit. You don’t blame that on a bad back. Maybe some time off and some tape study of 3 or 400 ABs will prove beneficial. Strange. He never gets hurt. I like DW, and I like that he took the pains to say that this is not responsible for his slump9even though I cynically think that he clearly expects us to think otherwise). What I would like him to do is stop whining abut Citifield. It kind of tarnishes his overall stoic, iron man image.
while this may be true
and it certainly is true that David is swinging at some bad pitches, the main thing thats been disturbing this year is, as has been constantly noted by the tv guys, that david is getting fastballs blown right buy him, right down the pipe. There was a time when grooving 92 mph to david meant sure extra bases, but that appeared to not be the case anymore. This at least gives us some framework to understand what the hell has was is happening to his bat speed. I mean, early in the year david was swinging at some bad stuff, but his swing, for the most part looked pretty decent. It’s looked horrific recently, and this is probably a good explanation of why.
by Shea Strausman on May 16, 2011 6:13 PM EDT up reply actions
you are right
they have been blociating about him missing fastballs. But they fail to mention that he has been doing this for the past three years. Last year they attributed it to his swing length. He has made good strides adjusting that swing this year and earlier in the year he was getting those fastballs. DW does not have blazing bat speed, but I think his problem is that the early part of his mechanics are too deliberate. lI don;t want to believe that he is just squeezing the bat too hard in big spots. He does not get his foot down. So the swing part starts a split second too late. But that is just me.
Fixed
he might have hurt his back carrying the Mets’ offense the last two seasons.

If Wright has to go on the DL, they almost have to make a roster move, right? who do you think they’ll call up? And here’s to angel pagan eventually getting back so we can get that bum harris off the team for good.
by Shea Strausman on May 16, 2011 6:14 PM EDT up reply actions
My guess would be Evans.
He’s not hitting well right now, but we’re already short an INF. He’d have to be added to the 40-man, but he’s a far superior option than Harris and Hu.

As a group, we just started rooting for the guy back in '08.
He was crushing it in New Orleans that year, but never got called up. After Alou went down, we instead gave playing time to Trot Nixon (54 OPS+ in 41 PA), Marlon Anderson (40 OPS+ in 187 PA), and even a few to Brady Clark and someone named Chris Aguila. Yeah, he’s an AAA lifer, but when you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel like that, why the hell not give the guy a shot?

This
need to call up a bat at this point. Play Evans at 1b, Murph at 2b and Turner at 3b. Willie Harris cannot be given the starting duty. Too bad Lutz is hurt, damn.
I'd much rather see Niewenhuis
and Tejada get called up to replace Harris and Hu permanently with Turner at 3B and Murphy at 1B until Dubs comes back.

and certainly nothing short of a two-fold upgrade on defense.

and i would like to see him continue to walk. last yr he barely walked. this yr he’s been on base basically every single gm
metsjetsknicksrangers.............can it get any worse?
Certainly
His plate discipline has really been promising thus far and that was one of the big things holding back his value. Perhaps he could parlay the improved plate discipline into a little more power or at least a higher batting avg.

here are his stats this yr
in 39 gms .312/.416/.567 w/ 6 hrs and 22 xb hits. his only issue right now is his propensity for striking out (40 k’s) and ability against lefties (.267/.389/.400 in 45 AB’s)
metsjetsknicksrangers.............can it get any worse?
of them
only pridie should play CF, so make Kirk the starting CF. He isn’t far off from being the everyday CF, his situation is dependent on pagan – if pagan was to be out for the year i think kirk would be here instead of pridie
I LIKE IKE!
It just seems like a panic/rush job to me.
Pridie’s been fine in center and we’re likely to get Pagan back at some point, anyway. I’d wait out the storm and see how things shake out before making rash moves like that. Nieuwenhuis isn’t going to be a savior for this team…he’s not an Eric Hosmer type prospect who’s going to make an immediate impact. In fact, he typically struggles in his first exposure to a new level.

pridies just a stopgap at best
although i’d much rather see him than harris or hairston as the backup OF once pagan returns

Sure.
I just don’t think it makes sense to push Pridie to the back the way he’s been playing, especially with another young OFer in F! sitting on the bench as well. And yes, I think Pridie makes a nice 4th OFer once Pagan gets back. I’d just rather not have a total OF logjam on the big league roster.

btw
does anybody understand why they thought it a good idea to bring up F! now. makes no sense to me
metsjetsknicksrangers.............can it get any worse?
It doesn't really make sense other then the fact that
they have almost nobody else on the 40 man who they could call up. Aside from F!, it’s either Mike Nickeas (nope), Ruben Tejada (should stay in Buffalo) or Jordany Valdespin (too raw). Lutz and Duda are on the DL. They could’ve added Nick Evans but then you have to deal with what to do when guys come back and you have to send him back down. Since they already outrighted him in ST, he’s now allowed to leave the organization the next time he’s outrighted.

No, not to be placed on.
All of the waivers business is always on the way down to the minors. They probably didn’t want to have to deal with eventually DFAing him and possibly losing him once everyone gets back. Personally I’d just cut Hairston at that point, but it’s not really a lock that Evans is better than Hairston.

no i agree
just think you could make a case for him now. mostly, i would rather him dominate AAA all summer, with a 2 week period of severe struggling in the middle to overcome, then come up in September and start next year.
I LIKE IKE!
I understand he's batting at a near .300 clip at the moment
but I’d only hesitate for the fear of having him getting dominated by lefties and regressing even in just the purported 2 week Dubs DL window. Whatever progress and subsequent confidence he’s pieced together against southpaws I’d like to keep intact.
"Intelligence is not a genetic predisposition. Think stupid!!"
by Wright of passage on May 16, 2011 5:15 PM EDT up reply actions
How about continue to work on his plate discipline?
If you think that Dubs Ked a lot, take a look at Kirk’s numbers. He is making progress in AAA. Leave him there so that he can continue to improve his plate discipline.
Also, he has struggled in the past upon promotion to a new level. DO we want to promote him for 2 weeks so that he can fail here, and then send him back down? That doesn’t help the Mets win now, and it doesn’t help Kirk develop into a major league player.

if he continues like this though and he's not called up in september
that would be a crime
metsjetsknicksrangers.............can it get any worse?
He'll definitely be called up by September.
He needs to be placed on the 40 man roster this offseason anyway, in order to be protected from the Rule V draft, so he’ll certainly see major league time. I’d just wait until there’s a spot (either once Beltran is dealt or in August/September) and let him play uninhibited in AAA so that he can continue to up his game and become more ready to succeed in the majors.

ideally the rest of the season, yes
but he would succeed in the majors right now and possibly do more than pagan was – all i am saying

He would do more than Pagan was doing in 2011 because Angel was in a slump
but I doubt that Kirk will ever be able to outperform Pagan’s 2010 season.

Naturally, they can come crying to me when Cliff Lee needs TJ.
Let's not get carried away
Davis (who actually may come back), Beltran, and Reyes have all been better offensively.
Probably because of the injury
I was just saying, Ike and Howard are comparable, Pagan and Dicktorino are comparable (as players, not has human beings), Utely and Wright and Johan and either Lee or Halladay.

One of the quotes online from Rubin's blog
suggests that it went from "stiffness" the first week to "localized pain" thereafter. So that could in part explain why initially it didn’t hamper his performance, but got worse over time.

He also plays a guy named Ryerson in Glee. And was in Heroes. Have to say i missed those. he’s a good character actor, though.

He did play 3B in the minors. Murph at 3B and Turner at second. Bring up Rick Nevans.

So I don’t wanna hear no fussin’ about Omar’s, er Sandy’s…inability to stock the farm system to compensate for these injuries.

Let's not overreact
Davis’s injury, knock on wood, doesn’t sound serious – he’s out of the boot and starting rehab. With Wright, frankly, it’s almost comforting to know that SOMETHING is wrong with him – otherwise we’re dealing with a player in the prime of his career who can’t catch up to 92-MPH fastballs wright down in the middle. Hopefully, with treatment, he can be pain-free, and if this is something that’s affecting the speed of his swing, hopefully it gets better.

The best way to do it
Call up Evans to play 1b, since that’s where he’s most comfortable. Then play Murph at 2b and Turner at 3b. It’s not ideal, but I’d take that over adding Tejada or Luis Hernandez or Willie Harris to the everday line-up. It’s too bad Bay or F-Mart haven’t played some 1b.
Why not Murph at third base?
He’s played it the minors.

i think its probably a couple of things, being a professional athlete theres always some sort of pressure to downplay your injuries, so there’s that, but also I think david feels keenly responsible for the offense of this team.

Good to see the new FO fixed our woeful medical team.
It only took a month to find the stress fracture.
That’s change you can believe in.
I am sure it’s no big deal, just a fractured vertebrae.
Wright said there is “no correlation between his back and his slow start”.
Is it possible to play with a bad back and Not have it effect performance?
Not all bad news
Stress fractures often heal well, with just a little time, if there’s no underlying problem, like Bill Walton had in his feet if I remember.
If he doesn’t rush back he might recover the couple week groove he had in April. Keith was raving about his stroke — really level — he’d moved closer to the plate, etc. Previous years his k rate seemed to be mechanical, that loopy upper cut swing. Last month or so he couldn’t catch fastballs. it was scary to wonder if his reflexes were gone. That’s not fixable.
If this is chronic it could really shorten his career, but he’s been so healthy for so long, he’s probably pretty resilient.
this is that it will most likely chase jorge/jeter off the back page
I thought we would have enjoyed having the msm dump on the Yanks for a while.
2011 Summed up Already
Bottom of the ninth…bases loaded….up comes Willie Harris…batting……125? No, Coach Collins decides to pinch hit……wait for it….bottom of the ninth, bases jammed and up steps Chin Lungh Hu…batting 049! I could just see the fear in the opposing pitchers eyes.
WHAT A JOKE !!!! Terry…..I know % and splits…but Hu should not EVER bat in the ML. Another bases loaded that goes into extra innings.
