Fantasy Analysis
Wright was a fantasy bust in a 2009 campaign that saw him plummet from four-year averages of 29 homers and 112 RBIs to 10 blasts and 72 ribbies. The power outage can't simply be blamed on Citi Field either, as his five road homers matched his output at home. The third baseman's 27 steals salvaged some fantasy value, as did his .307 average, but even that mark was buoyed by an extremely lucky hit rate. At 27, Wright is capable of bouncing back, though his regression in walk and strikeout rates suggest he may not regain his 2005-08 form.

David Wright batted .307 with 88 runs, 10 homers, 72 RBIs and 27 stolen bases in 2009.
Much was made of Wright's huge drop in power this past season. Many feel it was the result of new Citi Field's cavernous confines, but the 26-year-old hit exactly as many homers on the road (5) as he did at home. The team believes Wright is capable of rebounding in that department, but there's no question this former first-rounder's value is diminished heading into next season.
Carlos Beltran and David Wright were out of the lineup on Sunday.
Beltran had started six straight games from Sept. 20-26 before getting a day of rest on Sunday. It had been manager Jerry Manuel's plan to give Beltran an occasional day off after the center fielder returned from an extended stay on the DL due to a bone bruise in his right knee. Wright also was the recipient of a customary day off. The Marlins' originally scheduled starter for Sunday was Josh Johnson, who has held Wright to a .167 batting average in 18 career at-bats. Look for Wright -- and possibly Beltran -- to be back in action on Monday vs. the Nationals.
David Wright went 1-for-2 with a run and his 26th steal on Saturday.
He's hit safely in six of eight games, but the more notable part of Saturday's effort was his surge toward his career-high 34 steals. Wright has been caught more times on the basepaths than at any other point in his career (9), but the 26 base swipes represent a pleasant consolation for the paltry 10 homers he's provided owners.
David Wright went off against the Phillies Saturday afternoon, crushing a pair of two-run homers, scoring three times and driving in six runners.
Wright's multi-homer outburst equaled the most amount of long balls that he had sent out of the yard in any single month this season, but with Carlos Beltran back and offering some much-needed support for the third sacker in the Mets lineup, Wright should have the opportunity to put up many more days like the one he had against the Phils on Saturday.
David Wright went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBIs and two runs in Thursday’s win over the Rockies.
A return to form for Wright, who has shown no ill-effects of the concussion he sustained as a result of being hit in the head by a pitch on Aug. 15. In three games since returning from the DL, he’s 4-for-9 with three runs and a walk. That’s certainly good news for many -- most importantly, Wright himself. While the power hasn’t been there this season for the stud hot cornerman, it’s still been another big-time campaign, as he’s batting .327 with 77 runs, 24 steals and a stellar .416 on-base percentage.
David Wright went 1-for-3 with a run and a walk in his return from the DL on Tuesday.
A pleasant return for Wright, who nailed a single in his first at-bat. He also attempted to steal a base with Jeff Francoeur at the plate, although Francoeur's interference with the catcher ended up negating the play. Wright appears to be at full strength and should return to the starting lineup in all formats, though owners should keep in mind manager Jerry Manuel's vow to give his third baseman periodic off-days.
Mets manager Jerry Manuel said Saturday that he expected David Wright, who has been on the disabled list since Aug. 16 with a concussion, to come off the DL when he is eligible on Aug. 31.
The Mets are off that day, meaning Wright's first game back could be Sept. 1 in Colorado."From what I understand, he's on track," Manuel said. Those comments sat in stark contrast to Manuel's statement last week that Wright might miss the remainder of this season. And he still might. But Wright has been participating in aerobic exercises without pain, and he hopes to graduate to baseball activities within the next few days. Assuming he suffers no setbacks, Wright would seem to have a realistic shot to return to active duty when rosters expand.
Two days after being hit in the head with a pitch from Matt Cain, David Wright was back at Citi Field on Monday and told reporters, "I'm sure that I'll be able to play again this year."
While Wright was adamant in stating that he plans on returning to the lineup as soon as he is eligible on Aug. 31, over the weekend manager Jerry Manuel didn't dismiss the possibility that the third baseman could miss the rest of the season. Even though he is on the DL, he was dressed in his normal practice gear before Monday's series finale with the Giants. "This is what I do when I come to the field," Wright said. "I'm going to come here every day and root these guys on." Stay tuned.
Jeff Francoeur went 2-for-4 with a run scored Sunday.
With David Wright joining a small legion of his teammates on the disabled list Sunday, Francoeur has become the Mets' de facto cleanup man and the only real source of power left -- other than Gary Sheffield -- in New York's lineup. Frenchy's value, however, remains mostly the same, since Wright was one of the few teammates that could offer him protection in the lineup. Expect the Mets' new cleanup man to be pitched around often by opposing hurlers.
The Mets placed David Wright (post-concussion symptoms) on the 15-day DL and selected the contract of infielder Andy Green from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.
Wright, one of the last healthy Mets remaining from their Opening Day roster, was examined by a neurologist at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan Saturday night after being beaned by a pitch from Matt Cain. Wright will undergo a series of tests in the next few days, and the Mets will likely have a more concrete plan in place for his return following the results. Green will see some time in the Mets' depleted infield, but Fernando Tatis should get the lion's share of starts at third in Wright's absence.
David Wright left the hospital on Sunday morning, and after revisiting with a neurologist, he has been diagnosed with post-concussion symptoms, which includes a headache.
Wright is resting at home and has no timetable to return to the lineup. The four-time All-Star exited Saturday's game after being hit in the helmet with a fourth-inning fastball from Giants starter Matt Cain. After lying motionless on his stomach for several minutes, team trainers helped Wright roll over and he was able to walk off the field under his own power. On Sunday afternoon, Mets manager Jerry Manuel preached confidence in Wright and said there were no current plans to put him on the disabled list. Wright will undergo a series of tests in the next few days, and the Mets will likely have a more concrete plan in place following the results. Manuel said on Sunday that Fernando Tatis -- who stepped in following the initial injury --- will get the bulk of playing time at third base in Wright's place.
David Wright, who was hitless in one at-bat, left Saturday's game in the bottom of the fourth inning with a concussion after getting hit in the head by Matt Cain.
Wright lay motionless on the ground for a couple minutes after getting plunked just above his left ear. He walked off the field with the aid of a trainer and was sent to the hospital. A CT scan came back negative, but Wright will be kept at the hospital overnight for observation. Fernando Tatis replaced Wright at the hot corner and could stay as his replacement if Wright has to miss any time.
David Wright is adamant that he'll be in the Mets lineup on Friday.
Wright came up lame as he was waved to second base after an infield single and a throwing error in the ninth inning of Wednesday's game. The All-Star third baseman apparently is battling soreness behind his right knee and also seemed to be favoring his groin muscle. Yet after receiving a day off Aug. 11, Wright doesn't want to log any more time on the bench. "I'm just a little banged up," Wright said. "I'll be in there [on Friday night]. I'm good to go." Looks like Wright owners should start him without hesitation.
Mets third baseman David Wright was given a much-needed night off Tuesday as manager Jerry Manuel shook up the lineup for the second game of the series against the D-backs.
Fernando Tatis replaced Wright at third base and in the third spot of the batting order. Cory Sullivan was planted in the leadoff spot and in center field, with Jeremy Reed batting sixth and handling left field. Manuel said that Wright needed a mental and physical break, in part because of a lingering case of stomach flu, but that he expected him to be ready to play Wednesday.
