Wright Still Wrong

David Wright is already doubtful for opening day:

General manager Sandy Alderson told reporters Tuesday that the third baseman flew back to New York to have his sore right shoulder examined Monday and was diagnosed with an impingement on Tuesday.

Count me as not surprised. The Mets did the right thing this winter, refusing to put voice to the probability of Wright not playing in 2017. He is their long term star, and the team said nothing negative about his health. So it would appear Jose Reyes will get another chance at third, with the early prime Matt Reynolds maybe getting a shot, or even Asdrubal Cabrera. The Mets were prepared for this likely contingency.
