Wright Remains as the Third Best Third Basemen of 2010

There are no newcomers to the top five third basemen list. Although everyone is the same, four out of the five players moved in the standings. Read on to see who the new number one is!

3. David Wright, New York Mets: Wright is the only player on the list to remain in the same spot since early June. Wright’s consistent offense this season is helping the Mets stay in the hunt for October. Wright is hitting .305, with 17 home runs and 77 RBI’s. Wright’s numbers have pretty much stayed at the same pace since early June, his average only dropped two points and he added five more home runs and 27 more RBI’s. Wright already surpassed his abysmal numbers from last season when he only hit 10 home runs and 72 RBI’s. Saying all of that the Mets are only one game above .500 this season and are tied for third place in the division six and a half games behind the first place Braves. With the trade deadline passing two days ago, the Mets didn’t make even one move! Wright is having a great year, but he cant do it alone. The Mets just gave up on their season by not making any moves to improve a mediocre team. If they do somehow make the playoffs, the Mets will have to pull off another miracle.

David Wright Makes #3 of the Best Third Baseman of 2010

Three out of the five third baseman on this list are having comeback years. One of the players career looked like it was over, one of them hasn’t had a good year since he was in the National League, and the last comeback player had a power outage last year.

3. David Wright, New York Mets: Wright has his groove back! After a disapointing season last year for him and his team Wright has found his way once again and is helping the Mets make a run at the first place Braves. Wright only belted 10 home runs last year and 72 RBI’s, but he still hit .307, which isn’t bad. The Mets expect Wright to be their power bat in the lineup though, which is why last year was a down year for Wright. Not to worry, Wright is leading the National League in home runs with 50 and has two more home runs than last year already, with 12. Wright has helped the Mets move to within a half a game behind the first place Braves. Wright is leading his team with average, RBI’s, home runs, on base percentage, slugging, and runs. If the Mets took Wright out of their lineup they would probably only be a .500 team this year.

Rod Barajas Makes #3 of the Best Catchers of 2010

There aren’t many big name catchers in the majors anymore, there are only a handful that come to mind as top tier catchers in the league.

3. Rod Barajas, New York Mets: Barajas has been a major contributor for the Mets this year. So far Barajas is making the Mets look like geniuses for picking him up from the Blue Jays. Barajas already has 11 home runs which leads his team and 30 RBI’s which is third on the team. If Barajas keeps up these numbers he will have career highs in those two categories. Barajas’s average has been a little low only hitting .267, but I think the Mets will take that with the much needed power he has been producing for the team. Will this power last from Barajas? His career stats say no, and I would have to say no also. I do think Barajas will still have respectable numbers once the season is over though.

Mike Pelfrey Makes #3 Suprise Starting Pitchers of 2010

There have been many suprisingly good starts by pitchers in 2010 that haven’t had good seasons the past few years. Is it a fluke, or are these pitchers for real this season?

3. Mike Pelfrey: Pelfrey is going nuts this season! Move over Johan Santana, Pelfrey is the new ace of the Mets this season. Pelfrey is 8-1 with a 2.39 ERA. Over the last two years Pelfrey has been known as an alright pitcher hovering around the .500 mark with wins and losses. This season has been a totally different story, no one expected Pelfrey to emerge as the teams ace. If it wasn’t for Pelfrey pitching the way he is the Mets would be way out of the division race.
