Yes, I know, I know, we are a little over a week into the season. BUT, David Wright is on pace to strike out 234 times!?! Owners of DW in points league are seriously worried right now.
Wright is striking out at more than double the pace he walks. With the exception of Wright’s first year in the league (2004: 4o Ks; 14 BB) DW has had very solid K/BB ratios. Check out his ratios over the last few years:
2008: 118 Ks / 94 BBs
2007: 115 Ks / 94 BBs
2006: 113 Ks / 66 BBs
2005: 113 Ks / 72 BBs
Lets be real, David Wright is not going to strike out 234 times. He probably won’t even approach 150 Ks, but this is a very alarming start to the season. Wright has put tremendous pressure on himself after two straight Mets collapses and the New York media never lets him forget his .243 average with runners in scoring position last season. Wright may be pressing. Brand new stadium, back-to-back collapses, rivals winning the World Series, etc.
Wright will turn it around and will put up top 5 fantasy player numbers, but right now, it is frustrating to be a Wright owner. Just sit back an remember Wright had his worst month of the season last year in April.

I don’t think that any more than I think Jimmy Rollins is going to hit .111 for the season.
They’ve played, what – 8 games?
The scary thing about the first few weeks is that it’s all you have to look at. With that said, there are a few guys out there that look completely lost right now (David Ortiz) and that can be a scary thought since you don’t want to trade at low value but also have to live through the struggles if you want to keep them.
