It's no secret that David Wright had a rough year last year. It can be contributed to a lot of things (trying to the pull the ball too much, no lineup protection, etc) and it is also no secret that Wright has worked really hard over the offseason to improve his swing, balance, hitting spread (I didn't know how to say using the whole field in a few words), power, etc. Many fantasy pundits have concluded that Wright will have a bounce back year because, well its a safe bet. And Wright will have a bounce back year. Here are David Wright's stats from 2009 and 2008:
2008: 626 AB, 115 R, 33 HR, 124 RBI, 118 K, 15 SB, .302 BA
And now stat projections for 2010:
CBS: 550 AB, 90 R, 20 HR, 90 RBI, 24 SB, .300 BA
From the above projections, I think the ESPN one is closer to what it actually will be, and its not just because its better. Even though the Mets are not starting the year with Beltran and Reyes, you would have to think with Bay, Wright will score more runs and will hit more often with players on base. What I don't agree with is ESPN's K's stats. That seems to be a direct correlation only using last years stats, and not previous years. Of course, I am also hoping that his year is bigger than what both sites are projecting, and I feel that it will be.
