if they can get more than 4 RBI's out of the 5 hole it would be a nice start.
the new york media has been very low key on how terrible david wright has been to start this season. delgado hasn't been great either, but carlos is hitting .429 with 8 RBI's with two outs and runners in scoring position. so while he's not hitting with consistancy, he has hit in clutch situations.
wright's just been terrible. he's batting .143 with runners in scoring position. he's hitting behind reyes and beltran, who are always on base, and has just 4 RBI's. shit, el duque has 2 RBI's. the fact that he's still hitting .266 and his on base is on par with what it was last year tells ya the guy's a good hitter, but he's not a homerun hitter, but he's trying to be. he tries to pull everything out of the ballpark, rather than going with the pitch and hitting it to the opposite field the way he did to start his career.
willie needs to do something... maybe drop him in the order, maybe move him up to 2nd for a few games and see if the steady flow of fastballs he'll get in that spot turns him around. he did have an opposite field double yesterday, so maybe he's getting it... but damn, he's gotta do something soon.
