That's Wright, here's the truth

Fatso without Froot Loops is incredibly boring. Maybe because he realizes this, or perhaps because he's just ill-informed and hates the Mets, Mike Francesca has gone on and on about how un-clutch David Wright is, and how the Mets need to possibly trade him to break up the core of the team.

The Large One harps on Wright's performance in the final week of 2008 and uses his postseason stats from 2006 to back up his opinion. Basically, two small samples.

Here's what Mikey either doesn't know or doesn't care to know about David Wright:

2008 Sept/Oct: .340 Avg / .416 OBP / .577 SLG / .993 OPS - 6 HR, 21 RBI. Not bad!

2008 RISP: .243, two outs RISP: .247. OK, not so great.

But...

Late & Close: .286 Avg / .876 OPS
Tie Game: .308 / .937
Within 1 run: .313 / .948
Within 2 runs: .321 / .969
Within 3 runs: .326 / .975
Runner on 3rd, 2 outs: .324 / .958
First and third: .345 / .998

OK, so he was .235 in 2008 with the bases loaded and .167 with runners on second and third, but you get the picture. Wright had some very good numbers in many clutch situations this season.

And 2008 was an abberation in many respects. His career average with RISP is .300. Runner on third, less than 2 outs: .447. Bases loaded: .393. Second and third: .400. Late & Close: .307. Tie game: .318.

But by all means, Mikey, trade Wright now because at age 26 he's never going to get any better, despite the fact that most pros peak between the ages of 27 and 32.

Idiot.
