Maybe in the future. Always making mistakes in the critical moments like 8 innings in tie games. He has something of Gary Carter in him. In the locker room, Carloses are the leader of the team. making Reyes one of the leaders of the team is a very goood idea. It takes the pressure off DW. I think he tries too hard.

Reyes still doesn't know how to align himself or carry himself on the field. How is he gonna direct the other 4 guys? Ponderous. Regarding the captain... We don't know what goes on in the clubhouse. Wright might not be The Man in the clubhouse. He has a penchant for humility in public so he might be the same in private. Be that as it may; the Mets should name him captain the day after Delgado's contract expires. There's nothing to substantiate the idea that someone can be "too young" to be a leader.

When a pitcher is struggling, what infielder is always the first on the mound to calm him down? Delgado. You never see him get shaken up. Even when he's in a slump at the plate he doesn't let that affect how he plays or acts in the field. It's nice to want Wright to be our captain but in reality he is not right now. He is still young and probably will grow into an even bigger leadership role in the coming years. But as of right now, I don't see anyone showing more leadership on this team than Delgado.

Sometimes the "captain" is a core of veterans. The biggest mistake is to anoint someone "captain," the way the Mets did with Franco. It has to be an organic practice.
