Can you believe Wright is about to play his ninth year? He's a good player, but it just seems he has not quite realized his transcendent expectations, and a lot of people still expect him to suddenly turn into an MVP-caliber player ... as if the first eight years of his career are not a large enough sample size:
" 'It is weird where it seems like yesterday we were winning the division by a crazy number of games and that I never heard myself in a trade rumor,' Wright said Friday before hosting his second-annual Vegas Night here to benefit the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters. 'And now, all of a sudden, it’s every day.' "

David Wright WAS an MVP caliber player from 2005 to 2008. Since then, his K rate has gone way up and power numbers are way down, correlated with the move to Citi Field. At age 29, Wright's career should be peaking, but appears to be steadily declining.
I wonder if the new dimensions at Citi Field will make much of a difference. I don't think the change will help his power numbers too much.
