David Wright Team Quotations

He's a game-changer. He can beat you so many different ways. He can certainly put a team on his shoulders and carry it.

I love being a Met. It was my favorite team growing up, so to be a Met to me is very special.

There's going to be a lot less pressure on Carlos this time around. That's why it doesn't matter where I hit. This team is going to score runs, period.

This year, we definitely have a team that's capable of making the playoffs. Right now, we're phenomenal on paper.

The way we are looking at it, we will have at least one team to support in the semifinals.

You run out of things to say about Pedro. As he goes, the rest of the team goes. Our energy level picks up a notch when he pitches.

I want to be out there and be involved. You get that helpless feeling when you're sitting on the bench. I don't want to be that guy. I'll take a guy on my team that doesn't have as much talent but wants to play through minor injuries than somebody who has superstar talent but is soft.

They were tough plays, but this is the big leagues and tough plays have to be made. I'm more disappointed in letting Tom down and letting the team down than I am making the errors for me personally.

That's something we didn't do enough last year -- keep a team down.

That's the biggest thing we were trying to get across is that we have all the right tools. The free-agent signings, the trades that have come over, we have all the right tools. We just have to put it together and do it on the field. It's one thing to be a good team on paper; it's another thing to go out there and be a good team on the field.
