New York Mets: The Wright Way

Introduction
We all know David Wright is one of the best third basemen in the league right now, and one of the best overall players in the game, altogether. His ability to hit for average, power, drive in runs, and steal bases is better than anybody, except maybe Hanley.
I want to see if I can recreate his current success, and keep it going to a point that he becomes maybe the best third basemen ever, and breaks the all-time RBI mark.

GOALS
1. Have David Wright break the RBI record (Hank Aaron – 2297)
Doing this in Shea will be hard, as Shea is a pitcher-friendly park. Home Runs (97), Batting Average (91), and Doubles (99) are all lower than what I’d like. However, with Reyes on the team, hopefully Wright will always have someone in scoring position for him.
2. Stay under payroll budget at all times
Staying under the payroll is the most important thing for me. Should I go over the payroll budget, I will immediately go under it by means of releases.
3. Build a successful team around Wright
This may be a dynasty aimed towards David Wright, but there is still one team goal, and that is to win. Winning is the goal of every team, in every dynasty, period. To do this fairly, I am going to implement some rules for myself.

HOUSE RULES
Free Agency
During any two week period of free agency, I can sign 3 players. I can only sign a maximum of 2 players a week, so long as there is a 3 day difference inbetween the signings. The maximum I can sign per week is 3. The reason for this is so that if, say the top hitter, and pitcher both want to negotiate with me, I can't sign them both, and must give other teams a chance to sign them.
I cannot sign 3 players with an overall or potential of 81+ in any given offseason. If there is a(n) 90 overall/peak player, and I sign him, I can only sign players under the 80 overall/peak mark the rest of free agency. I can only sign 10 free agents in any given off season. I cannot sign 2 players that have 81+ overall without signed a(n) player with an overall/peak of under 81 inbetween the two signings. Lastly, I can only sign two players in any given week, and 3 players every two weeks.

For in-season free agency, I can only sign the player to a 1-year deal. I can only sign 1 player per calender month.
*I will be using Mizerak's OFG Negotiator App

Trades
I will only be allowed to trade within the seven day period starting rom July 25th, and ending on the trading deadline. I will allow myself 2 trades if I am more than 2 games under .500, and only one if I have either a winning team, or I am a game, or two under .500.
The only way I will allow myself to trade outside of this week-long period, is if a season-ending injury happens. If the the season ending injury does happen, I can only trade for the specific position that is out, and that position must have a 1 year contract, and his overall/peak cannot be higher than 85.

Amateur Draft
I must draft 2 hitters, and 2 pitchers in any given Amateur Draft. My first pick can be whoever I want. Picks after my first, must have at least a 'C' fit to team, and have to be 5 overall points lower than my first pick.

Contract Extensions
I am only going to allow myself to extend 3 players in-season. Last season, I signed like 10, and that is unrealistic, I realise. As far as re-signing players in the offseason goes, I will allow myself to sign 5 players, and after that, it counts towards my 10 player limit.


*Rules can, and will be updated whenever someone gives me another idea, or if I find myself doing unrealistic stuff.*

Mets deal for Corky Miller
3.1.04
The Mets traded there backup catcher, Vance Wilson (71), as well as 21-year old second basemen, Anderson Hernandez (64/76), for the Red’s excellent fielding catcher, Corky Miller (69/73).



Mets trade Danny Garcia
3.6.04
Mets trade prospect second basemen, Danny Garcia (66/80), for outfielder DeWayne Wise (77/80). Wise is the second guy they’ve brought in for possible late inning fielding replacements.



Mets acquire utility man Ryan Freel
3.22.04
With Spring Training coming to a close, the Mets added another great fielder to there bench. The Mets gave up 22-year old outfielder Victor Diaz (67/78) for one of the better fielders in the game at all positions [except catcher], Ryan Freel (79/81)



Mets trade for Punto
3.24.04
Two days after getting a utility infielder/outfielder in Freel, the Mets appeared finished in bolstering there bench full of late inning replacements. The Mets gave up prospect reliever Royce Ring (61/79), in return, they got utility infielder Nick Punto (72/77).



Mets release 14 on Opening Day Eve
3.31.04
In an effort to cut the payroll, the Mets released 14 players Wednesday. Included in the 14 cut players were third basemen, Todd Zeile, second basemen, Joe McEwing, and 43-year old reliever, John Franco.
The cuts will shed 26.39M of there current payroll, giving them over 80M to work with under the budget.

Positional Breakdown

Catcher
1. Mike Piazza (87)
Piazza is quite arguably the greatest catcher to ever grace a Baseball Diamond, offensively at least. However, at 35, his playing days may be done. Met fans wonder how much he has left in the tank.
2. Corky Miller (71/76)
Miller was brought in for late inning defensive replacements, nothing more, nothing less.

First Base
1. Jason Phillips (74/78)
If the Mets can get a replacement for the future, they would surely love to. Phillips is not a great starter. In the future, the Mets would prefer to have his bat on the bench, were he would be more of a help.

Prospects:
1. Craig Brazell (69/80)
It's hard to tell if Brazell will be the future at first base for the Mets. At 23, he is still at least 1-2 years off. He appears as if he will have good contact whenever he comes up, though.

Second Base
1. Kazuo Matsui (74/87)
This Japanese Import was a great base-stealer in his native Japan. If Matsui can bring his hitting abilities with him, and he will make a good starter in New York, if not, then we could use his running abilities on the bench.
2. Nick Punto (77/82)
Punto is a second basemen, though can however play any position on the infield, and play it better than most everyday players at their position. He also was brought in for his fielding abilities, rather than his bat.

Prospects
1. Jeff Keppinger (80/90)
Keppinger is ready to come up to the big leagues now, but with Reyes at short, and Japanese Import, Kaz Matsui at second, he is kind of stuck at the moment. He likely is the second basemen of the future, however.

Third Base
1. David Wright (85/94)
The guy I am doing the dynasty about. Wright is a great young phenom. He will develop into a great hitter, with good power, and speed, as well as becoming one of the best fielders at third. He is not only the third basemen of the future, but also the future of the Mets. There’s not even another third basemen on the roster!

Shortstop
1. Jose Reyes (70/86)
Reyes, just like Wright, is a young phenom. Reyes will be one of the best shortstops in the near future, showcasing a quick bat, with blazing speed, and inconsistent power, he could pave his way into the record books. Also like Wright, there is not another shortstop on the roster.

Left Field
1. Cliff Floyd (82)
Floyd is a pretty good hitter, showcasing occasional power, and pretty good speed. He's not a great fielder, and will likely get taken out late in games.
2. Eric Valent (76/81)
Eric will be DHing against AL teams, as he easily showcases the best bat on the bench. He has played in the big leagues for three seasons, yet is still a rookie. Thanks to his inconsistent bat, he is used just as a pinch-hitter.

Prospects
1. Carlos Gomez (68/94)
At age 18, he may already be the fastest man in the majors. His blazing speed around the base paths will give him a spot on most major leagues teams, should his hitting not pan out. He is the future of the Met's outfield.

Center Field
1. Mike Cameron (84)
A career .250 hitter has showed decent pop in his bat over his career. Cameron has two more years on his contract, but may be cut as early as the All-Star break, depending on performance.
2. Ryan Freel (76/79)
Ryan was brought in for his ability to play absolutely anywhere when called upon to do so. His fielding is absolutely phenomenal, and when combined with very good speed, makes his one of the best overall fielders in the game.
3. Esix Sneed (67/73)
Sneed is here just so one of the good future starting prospects doesn't have to waste a year of progression on the bench. Sneed's best asset is his speed, which is not as good as two, or three others on the bench. He will receive little to no playing time.

Prospects
1. Jeff Duncan (83/91)
The only thing that will keep him from being called up the 'The Show' is his mediocre hitting skills. He is very quick, and is one of the best fielding outfielders there is.

Right Field
1. Richard Hidalgo (83)
The highest paid player on the team is a great fielder, and a decent power threat. He will also hit for a decent average. He will be gone soon, hopefully.
2. DeWayne Wise (73/77)
Just a slightly better fielder than Hidalgo, so won't get much time late in games, at least not in right. Wise can also play left, just as good, if not better than he does right.

Prospects
1. Lastings Milledge
Milledge will develop into a great fielder with good speed, contact, and a slight pop in his bat. Milledge is the future of this Met outfield.

Starting Pitching
1. Tom Glavine (85)
Glavine still has some left in the tank, though it can’t be much more anymore. Despite his age, Glavine can still throw his good fastball in the mid-90’s, and get big league hitters out.
2. Steve Trachsel (83)
Is just 33, but age is already starting to take an effect on him. His fastball is down into the upper-80’s, but he still has good control and decent movement.3. Al Leiter (79)
Leiter, like Trachsel, has an upper 80’s fastball. Unlike Trachsel, however, Leiter has a great slurve ball. With his old age, his control is no longer what it once was.
4. Aaron Heilman (81/88)
Heilman appears as if he is the future ace of this rotation. He throws a sinker, and slider, both with great movement, as well as a nice changeup. He won’t overpower hitters, but he could easily get a few with those breaking balls.
5. Jae Weong Seo (62/71)
He’s only in the rotation because we don’t have another starter who has enough experience here. Unfortunately, due to the age of our rotation, he will have to make some starts.

Prospects
1. Mike Pelfrey (69/95)
Once Pelfrey develops a bit more, he is going to be one of the best strikeout pitchers in the league. Mixing a mid-to-upper-90’s fastball, along with a sharp, hard curve, he could be one of the best strikeout pitchers the Mets have seen.
2. Brian Bannister (69/83)
The complete opposite of Pelfrey. Bannister will get a lot of groundouts. He mixes a 90 mph fastball with a good cutter, and good control. Bannister shouldn’t pan out to be better than Pelfrey, but he will wind up a good compliment to him.

Relief Pitchers
CL. Braden Looper (89)
Looper is a pretty good closer, but isn’t in our future plans. He has two good fastballs that top out in the upper 90’s.
SU. Heath Bell (80/85)
Bell may be the future of closer for a short stint. A good power pitcher, he throws a 90 mph fastball, complimented by a nice, sharp slider.
SR. Pedro Feliciano (83/90)
A good lefty specialist that can, and will also get righties out. We plan for him to be a major contributor to the bullpen for years to come.
SR. Dan Wheeler (82/88)
He could be a closer in the future for another team, but we hope he will wind up our future set up guy. Like Bell, a good power pitcher, throws a slider as his best pitch with a low 90 mph fastball.
MR. Dave Weathers (78)
Weathers is still a good pitcher, despite a decline in skills from age. He can still reach back and throw a 95 mph heater.
LR. Mike Stanton (80)
Despite his age, Stanton still has a good tailing fastball that he can throw for strikes. As our long reliever, hopefully, he won’t pitch a whole lot, but he will likely see a lot of innings.

Prospects
1. Orber Moreno (79/88)
This 26 year old may be getting in the rotation sooner rather than later. He will be one of the future guys in the bullpen, regardless though, and will be pitching in it next year, regardless.
2. Henry Owens (69/89)
If the 24 year old can work on his control, he will be a solid contributor to the bullpen for years to come, despite throwing just a fastball, and slider.
3. Philip Humber (57/90)
He still has a lot of work to do, but it appears he will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.

Mets Lose Opening Day in Walk-Off Fashion
4.1.08
The Mets tied the game 2-2 in the ninth, but Heath Bell couldn't hold the game off, as he gave up a walk-off single to Cintron, giving the Mets there first loss of the season.
Wright went 0-4 with 2 K's in his ML Debut.

Mets Win Thanks to Long Ball
4.2.08
Cliff Floyd puts the Mets ahead in the eighth for good, thanks to a solo homer.
David Wright picked up his first two career walks, his first steal, and his first run, as Mike Piazza drove him in the third inning.

David Wright Steals 4; Mets Win
4.4.04
Matt Cain delivered a 3-1 fastball to David Wright in the first inning, and Wright knocked the ball in short left-center for his first ever hit. He then preceded to steal second, and third.
David Wright got his first RBI in his next AB, as Reyes walked, then stole second, and third, and ran home on Wright's base hit to short center. Wright then repeated what he had already done, and what Reyes just did: stealing second, and third. Cliff Floyd homered him in, and the Mets won, 5-3.

Late Inning Heroics Gives Mets Win
4.10.04
Bottom of the ninth, down 3-2, this is the moment some players dream of. As Billy Wagner stepped to the mound, this is the reality David Wright faced.
Wright watched a fastball whiz by for ball one, then a slider grazing the corner for strike one. With a 1-1 count, Wagner let loose a fastball, and Wright gave it to some kid in the second row of the left field seats.
In the eleventh, Reyes double, and Cliff Floyd hit a walk-off basehit to finish off the come-from-behind win.
David Wright went 3-6, with his first career Home Run, and his first career double, as well as a Run, and an RBI. He was a triple short of the cycle.

Mets Bang Out 20 Hits In Win
4.12.04
The Mets went full throttle and demolished the Padres in game 1 of there series, winning 13-5. Hidalgo, and Reyes had 3 RBIs, Hidalgo also added a Home Run.
David Wright went 2-6, hitting a double for his second game in a row. He also drove in two.

Mets Get 8 In First; Win 15-3
4.13.04
The Mets got 20 hits for the second straight night, got a Home Run from Hidalgo the second straight night, and saw Cliff Floyd get 5 hits, including 3 doubles.
Wright went 1-5 with a walk, and RBI, and 2 runs.

Cameron Drives In 6; Tying Braves For First
4.16.04
Mike Cameron drove in six runs, including a Grand Slam in the fourth. Wright his second solo shot of the year.

Wright Homers In 3 Straight Games
4.18.04
Wright homered in all 3 games in the Atlanta Series, that the Mets lost 2-1. putting them 2 back in the division. Unfortunately for Wright, and the Mets, Wright's homers were all solo shots.

Mets Win In Extras
4.24.04
Nine innings was not enough for the Mets - Cardinals game, so they went to 10 were Freel drove in the game-winning run with a base hit. Looper came in to close it out in a 1-2-3 tenth.

This is aggravating. The only two starters I have in the farm system are my prospects, and I am not going to possibly ruin there future so I can possibly win 5 games.
Glavine, Leiter, and now Trachsel are all 3 out, and all three were originally scheduled for 3 weeks out, give or take a few days. Also, LR Mike Stanton is out for a little over 2 weeks.
I'm going to see if I can go out and get a couple more veteran pitchers. I'm looking at upper 70's type guys, that older type guys, just fill in guys, basically.
Hope you guys like this so far.


Also, the end of the month stuff will be up after I try to get a trade, or two in.

Looking at the Farm System
Outfielder Jeff Duncan is hitting an atrocious .194, with an OBP of under .300. However, the other New Orleans hitter, Jeff Keppinger, is hitting .388 with 25 RBI.
On the pitching side of New Orleans, reliever Tyler Yates is shutting down opposing hitters. Yates has a 1.80 ERA in 20 innings.

In Double A Binghamton, the ace combo of Pelfrey, and Bannister has done very well. Pelfrey is underachieving, however. Through 6 games (38.1 IP), he has an ERA of 3.99, and has as many strikeouts, as he does walks (17 apiece).
Bannister is performing excellent, however. Bannister has an ERA of 2.09, with 19 K’s. In 6 starts (38.2 IP), hitters are hitting just .210 against him.

In St. Lucie, the two future Met outfielders, Carlos Gomez, and Lastings Milledge are seeing the ball great.
Milledge is hitting .380, driving in 21, with 3 home runs, and 10 doubles. Gomez, on the other hand, is hitting .393, also with 3 homers. Gomez has drove in 17, hit 6 doubles, 4 triples, and is 17/17 in stolen bases.

In Kingsport, Joe Smith has pitched in 5 games, just over 10 innings, and has allowed just 1 run. Humber has pitched in 3 games, averaging 3 innings per, and has allowed just 1 run as well.

My man, why the hell is Wright batting leadoff?

Oh, and, GREAT work so far. Enjoying it.

good so far and mets i think he is doing wright lead off to get him more at bats to break records

Well, I had Reyes leading off for that first month, but as you could tell, he was only hitting .211, with an OBP of .262. As a lead off guy, even if you have 13 steals in one month, that is unacceptable.
At this point, I don't have a true lead off man that can get on base consistantly, so I am going to experiment with Wright. Hopefully Reyes can start playing like he does in reality and start hitting at least .260. I would prefer to have Wright in the middle of the order, but considering only 8 out of 28 of his hits have been for extra bases, he doesn't yet have the middle of the order power I am looking for, either.
Glad your enjoying.

Btw, that is not the lineup I used for last month, that is the lineup with the changes that I will be going with this month.

Mets Trades For Marquis, and Hendrickson
5.1.04
The Mets traded away there prospect first basemen, Craig Brazell, and there former backup catcher, Tom Wilson for Mark Hendrickson, and Jason Marquis.

Wright Inspires Late Inning Rally; Mets Fall Short
5.1.04
After Josias Manzanillo got the first two outs in the inning, 3 straight singles, started by Wright started a late inning rally. A Hidalgo single scored Wright, but that was all they got in the ninth, as the Mets fell 4-3.
Wright went 3 for 5 with a run, and a double in his first game batting lead off.

Fish Sweep Mets
5.2.04
Despite a Home Run off the bat of Hidalgo, his ninth of the year, and a bases loaded single in the first inning from Jason Phillips, the Mets still fell to the Marlins, 4-3, in the series finale.
Wright went 1 for 4 on the night, with a walk.

Mets End 6-Game Losing Skid
5.4.04
The Mets six game losing streak is finally over. It took a little over 5 hours, and 14 innings, but the game was finally decided by a walk-off error in the fourteenth giving the Mets there first win in the last week.
After a 2-run 8-ining performance from Hendrickson, the bullpen came in and shut down the Expos. I MEAN SHUT DOWN. Yates allowed 2 walks in the ninth inning, but after that, no Expo reached base.
Wright went 0-3 with a run.

Wright Hits First Career Triple
5.9.04
In a 9-8 win Sunday, the Mets young third basemen hit his first career triple as his team won. Reyes also joined Wright with a triple, his second of the past week. Reyes, as well as Cliff Floyd, and Mike Cameron hit home runs in the slugfest.
Wright went 2 for 6 with the triple, an RBI, and a run.

Glavine Returns; Piazza Powers Mets To Victories
5.15.04
Glavine came back from injury and pitched 5 innings, giving up 3 runs. Piazza hit his third homer in the past two games, edging the Braves out.

Weong Seo Pitches Another Gem
5.19.04
For his third straight game pitched, Weong Seo has gone 8 innings, allowing no runs. In his past 3 starts, he has given up 1 run over 24 innings, striking out 14, with a record of 2-1.

Mets Make Trade With Twins
5.21.04
The Mets traded for Luis Rivas (74), Doug Mientkiewicz (77), and Christian Guzman (75). They sent relievers Henry Owens (64/80), Carlos Muniz (67/81), and Orber Moreno (80/83) to the Twins.
Guzman will start at shortstop immediately, allowing Reyes to go down to AAA to polish his skills.

Bernie Moves From Pinstipes to Bluestripes
5.21.04
The Mets traded away Mike Cameron (86), and Esix Snead (68/74) to the Yankees, in order to bring Bernie Williams (85) to Shea. Cameron has hit 9 home runs this year, but is struggling to make contact. Williams, on the other hand, has hit 8 home runs, and is struggling to keep his average from going under .300.

Bernie Pleases Met Fans In Debut
5.21.04
Almost 44,000 fans saw Bernie William's first Met game, live. Those who saw it, loved it.
In the fifth inning, Bernie stepped to the plate, and watched two fastballs from Livan for called strikes. The 0-2 pitch was a changeup that got changed up as it sailed through the air, and into a fan's glove.

Mets Win In Ten
5.22.04
Nine frames was not enough for this game. Everytime one team scored, the other came back and replicated it. It took extra frames to finally decide the game. Corky Miller got the pleasure of a game winning hit, singling home Christian Guzman.

I will post the Amateur Draft results tomorrow. I'm pretty tired, so i'm going to get me some sleep. Hope you guys enjoyed the Dynasty up to this point.

Your trades are very nice, very fair. This dynasty is fantastic, great job so far. Keep it up, I'm reading.

Amateur Draft results will be posted after I do the dishes.

Thanks for the feedback. I can't put a trade limit on myself, because I know I will likely break it with the older players I have, so I just to try to trade for guys that a team would actually trade away. Glad you like it.

I agree with bomber and as a die heart Mets fan I'm here for ya

Alright, my Dad wanted to get on the computer for a while, so now I am going to work on posting the Amateur Draft results, then post the monthly review.
Glad you guys are enjoying this so far.
