David Wright is batting .261 and only has 4 RBIs with 0 HRs so far in the early season.  Plus he already has struck out 20 times in 76 at bats.

Ok, that's a slump but it is early and Wright will snap out of it.  Everywhere you turn it's making headlines that Wright is slumping but has everyone forgotten that every player slumps at several points in their career?  The season is a series of hills and valleys in regards to a player's performance and who doesn't have faith that the kid will work his way out of this.

Don't believe me? Tim Marchman at the New York Sun writes a great article that agrees with this.

Although Wright's swing has been ugly at times, it's not anything to be concerned about just yet.  Wright has been exploited on every magazine, video game and attends endless events  so he just needs some time to get his head back in the game and get in a groove.  It will happen, and when it does we'll quickly forget about this slump that is both normal and sure to end.

In addition, the Yanks with A-Rod, the hottest player in the majors are in last place and the Mets with a "slumping" Delgado and Wright are in first.

Also, if I sit next to anyone booing Wright as I have started to hear occasionally and sparsely, I will throw a slice of pizza at them (see 4/18 post).

And check out Lastings Milledge's Myspace...not sure if this is really him or not but it looks authentic.
