David Wright is sadly an afterthought these days, with Amed Rosario making his home debut on Friday night and more than 14 months now having passed since the captain last appeared in a major league game. Still, assistant general manager John Ricco offered some insights into Wright's steep comeback bid this week, noting that Wright had reported to the team's complex in Port St. Lucie to begin what is being labeled "low-level baseball activity." Ricco went on to define that work as playing catch, hitting off a tee and taking ground balls hit directly at him to avoid lateral movement. "It's a good sign," Ricco said.

It was 14 years ago that we watched with anticipation as the Mets promoted the highly rated, aggressive, speedy and charismatic Jose Reyes. The next year, Reyes was joined by the quiet, mild-mannered, smooth and sound David Wright. The Mets have a similar dynamic about to hit the stage this August with prospects Amed Rosario (who was promoted to the Mets earlier this week) and Triple-A 1B Dominic Smith (who is expected to follow in Rosario's footsteps later this month). During their first three years together with the Mets, Wright and Reyes scored more than 500 times, collected nearly 1,000 hits, won 205 games and got to the National League Championship Series, while also playing side-by-side Continue to Article
