The Franchise

Some how, some way, the Mets need to come up with the money and pay David Wright.  Off to one of the best starts in his career, Wright is entering today's finale against Miami with a .402 average.  Yes, that is tops in all of baseball at the moment.  He is also near the top in RBIs, Runs, and Walks, while keeping his strike outs to a minimum.


The Mets new regime is implementing their Money Ball ways.  Lots of young talent coming up through the minors, no long term contacts that will have handcuffed repercussions down the line, and slim pluckings from the off-season free agency list.


But GM Sandy Alderson needs to keep Wright.  This season's Mets club is exciting to watch.  They're winning games and beating teams from the toughest division in the National League.  As time goes on, if they continue to play well and win ball games, the fans will return to Citi Field.  It's just the way of sports.  The way of life.  It's a beaten horse, but winning really does cure everything.


When the Mets fans come back to Citi.  When they spend their hard earned money on tickets, and parking, and beer, the Mets need to reinvest that money into the reason for their return.  David Wright.






He is the main veteran in the club house.  Everyone looks up and listens to their third baseman.  He is a man that bleeds Blue and Orange; has since he was just a kid growing up in Virginia.  He is the man that belongs to become a lifer.  A few weeks ago he became the Mets all-time RBI leader, among other franchise leading stats.  He deserves the chance to add to all of those numbers.  Break every one of them.


He is also the man that deserves to lead this team back to the World Series and back to it's prominent place in baseball.


Pay the man his money!

When you say the word 'Franchise', most people immediately think of business-based franchises like those that are top listed in popular business magazines every year. But, it is important to remember that there are hundreds and thousands of franchises out there, some that are spectacularly successful, others that are total failures. Obviously, you want to avoid the latter.
