Note: David Wright’s Slow Start
In a post to Mets Today, Joe Janish explains that David Wright 
is a notoriously slow starter, adding, “and we’ve come to expect subpar numbers from him in the first month of the season.”
…like wright told reporters, his timing is off… and, i still think he’s turning his body back too much in advance of his swing… he’s late on too many fastballs, either fouling them off or just plain getting beat… we have seen this from him before, so i trust he’ll come out of it…
According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, “Wright is one of just 11 players in the majors who has at least 30 plate appearances with runners in scoring position and only Vernon Wells (.115) is hitting worse than Wright’s .200. The other nine players in this category are all hitting at least .273.”
…i would still like to see him return to hitting the gaps, and focus on being a doubles hitter, going the other way, etc… his goal should be to win a batting title, not a home-run or RBI crown… sherman believes wright is pressing, and carrying too much pressure due to back-to-back collapses… he may be right… who knows…
