David Wright is 8th most marketable

I didn’t get a chance to mention that David Wright was named the 8th most marketable player in a study.

That old guy that plays short across town was #1 and A-Rod was #9.

It has been a long time since the Mets had a marketable player. I don’t remember too many Piazza ads, maybe the cold I am fighting has my brain fogged – I think Mike may have done something with razors.

Before that I think you go back to the young Dwight Gooden.

Ya ever notice how I often phrase it “the young Dwight Gooden?”

There was something special those first three years. I’m sorry most of you kids missed it. Later Doc may have been “Santana good” at times (maybe not even that good) but the young Dwight Gooden was Strasburg at his best every time out.

I digress.

So the Mets find themselves with a marketable player. Ed Coleman called him the defacto captain on Sunday. Although a few of you wanted to run him out of town in April, perhaps DW is The Franchise II.

What should the Mets do with such a player? Long contract? A black C on his jersey? Off field what? His own store?

I’m going to try to catch up on the inbox today. My war against lawyers is going well. Hopefully I will have a few minutes to myself. Time to turn into Clark Kent…see you guys in a few. I hope you like food because that’s this morning’s topic.
