Yea he might want more than Zim, give him 18 a year, that wont break this team

6/100 would be a GREAT deal for us and fair for Wright

Wright should not sign for less than $150 mil.

he;ll get more , i'd say 6 years at 20 per.............

>I'd see him very comfortable with 6/15. Similar to what Zim made. This way he can stay here pretty much to the end, he's still rich but one of the guys. Not put on the pedestal. I don't think that's that's his idea.>

He's been naturally declining for years already - don't let a hot week fool you.

The Mets are not the sailors they once were that Washington is currently.

ok mr baseball.

jim... if david can give us 2010 numbers and cut down a bit on the K's... its winner winner chicken dinner... his approach right now is like night and day... get him signed.

Not because it's Wright, but by giving him the long term deal the owners and the Franchise will send a message to the kids: Play well, Play hard, Play tough and you will be rewarded. Here is your leader. He has, is and will be here through good times and in bad because we believe in him and you.

This is a VERY important concept to give kids like Tejada, Captain Kirk, Lurch, The Hebrew Hammer, NoseNiese, GeeWhiz, the Red Rider and I'm not even mentioning Wheeler, Harvey and Familia. It will make the aches feel less painful, the workouts seem more important, and the games seem more critical.

In short, it will turn them from 25 guys into a team.

It also helps control payroll. Look at what the Giant's did with Madison Bumgarner. They bought out his arbitration years and first year of free agency and will have cost certainty. Locking up an exception 22 year-old for the next five years for a max of $40 million with two club options is a smart move.

>You are 100% right. Tampa did it with Longo and Moore. It's a smart move on both parts. You get the guy cheap if he continues to develop, and the guy gets a payday that is guaranteed if he never pitches another inning.<

If we could get Wright for 5 years and $40 million I would do it too...but talk of a contract even approaching $100 million is insane.

I'm sure Wright will have no problem taking a 50% pay cut while watching 31 year-old Brandon Phillips make $12 million per year and Erick Aybar demand 5/$50 million from the Angels.

He may have a problem...so let him walk...he's probably looking at homes in Atlanta already anyway.

Wright had a bad 2009. A pretty good bounce back year in 2010, and then was hurt in 2011.

Not really declining. More like bad luck.

Sheeet happens in a career, if he has a great season i proclaim that he's back.
