BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
OWNED IN: 78% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: The man who has inhabited the hot corner for the Mets for the past decade is back with a vengeance. And to silence his critics he is already hitting well and hitting for power.
David Wright had missed most of the 2015 season with spinal stenosis and has now returned at the height of the Mets playoff run.
Good hitters can always regain their form based on their exceptional hand-eye coordination and overall patience at the plate and Wright showed no signs of rust in either department. Wright's career 10.1 BB% evens out the 18.4 K% to a certain extent and his career .339 BABIP and .299 BA should hold true if he continues to remain healthy for the rest of this season even in a smaller sample size.
The Mets are not going to be afraid to put him right in the heart of the lineup that has been on an absolute tear as of late and put them in great position for a postseason berth. The one concern for an owner who has been stashing him or is picking him up from an owner who dropped him earlier in the year will be how much workload can he take on?
Only time will tell, but Wright has already proven that he can be relied on to have a strong September for the Mets and for your fantasy team.
