David Wright Makes History

New York Mets third baseman David Wright now holds the record for most RBI's in franchise history. Wright hit a two - run home run last night, at Citi Field, off Mark Buehrle last night to straight away center field. His career RBI total with the team is now 735 and he passed Darryl Strawberry for the honor. The past few years Wright has been criticized for his lack of power and injury problems so it was fitting that he hit a long home run for the record.

Some have questioned whether the Mets should sign him to a long term deal or not. I see no reason why they shouldn't. He doesn't need to sign a ridiculous deal like the Angels did with Pujols. I see nothing wrong with signing him for four or five more years to a deal with a lot of incentives. When healthy and not playing in the Grand Canyon that used to be Citi Field, he is a productive player at a premier position.

David Wright. The Mets all - time leader in RBI's.
