Wright is the Mets version of Jeter, he is a hell of a team leader, and he is also a hell of a baseball player. It is amazing to think that at such a young age a player can step up as a leader in the club house and on the field, especially with the veteran talent on the Mets. Wright has a lot to offer you if you decide to draft him, he is wise (and talented) beyond his years.
Here's a little bit more about Wright: His 2005 and 2006 campaigns were very similar but he's only 24 and I think this guy will keep growing. He was a 25 HR/20 SB player last year and I think eventually he will be a 30/25 player...possibly even better! I think next year could be the year. But 20 SB is a little bit more reasonable.
One reason not to take him: Really the only reason I see not to take him is because 3B is so deep or because you would rather opt for Travis Hafner, if you have multiple Util positions. Otherwise, Wright is a solid pick.
One reason to take him: There is not really any chance for regression unless he gets injured so theres certainly not a lot of risk. There is also a ton of upside. He's only 24! I can't stress that enough.
