As much as I want to say David Wright will be a key contributor to the team, and I really want too, I don’t see it happening.

Wright will be terrific for the team, leadership wise. He’ll be a major clubhouse factor but on the field, coming off neck surgery, how much can you expect?

It’s sad to see but I think Wright will be playing about 4 days a week and a real guess at what his production will be each night. The team knows how they want to bring him back and they have a set plan, but he hasn’t played more than 33 games since 2014.

There’s a major question of if he will be able to hold up throughout the season and how productive he will be. I’m hoping he can be a giant surprise for the Mets.
