And just for the heck of it, let’s dust off the old Jeter vs Wright:
Jeter- .334, .406 OBP, .871 OPS, 18 HR, 66 RBI, 107 Runs, 212 hits
Wright- .307, .390 OBP, .837 OPS, 10 HR, 72 RBI, 88 runs, 164 hits
Seems like a clear-cut, decisive win for the Captain.
But then again, I’m sure it’s hard to find a guy who put up better numbers than Wright on a team as bad (cough-Justin Upton-cough). In a lost season, the individual numbers by David Wright should represent about as good as a player can be with no protection (cough-Billy Butler-cough). I mean this is “the best 3B in NY” we are talking about here. (achoo-Nick Markakis-ahem).
