Only Two players since 1901 have batted 300, had 30 Homers, 35 Steals, 110 Runs, 110 RBI, and an on base percentage of 400 or higher all in the same season.

Barry Bonds in 1996 and Ken Williams in 1922.

David Wright Stats Current Stats: .317 AVG, 94 runs, 91 RBI, 30 SB, 26 HR, .408 OBP, and 33 Doubles.

David Wright projected: .317 AVG, 110 runs, 106 RBI, 35 SB, 30 HR, .408 OBP, and 40 doubles.

Why did I add in the Doubles? Because NO ONE in the history of the modern game has ever put together a season where they had batted 300, had 30 Homers, 35 Steals, 110 Runs, 110 RBI, .385 on base % and had 35 or more doubles. David Wright may become the only player in the history of the game to accomplish this feat.

Now add in close to 100 walks and David Wright may have the most balanced season of any hitter in the game. David Wright is in the top 10 in 7 major statistical categories. All this and he batted just .244 in April with no homers, and only 6 RBI’s I 90 AB’s.

Since The All Star game Wright is batting .363 with and on base % of .469 and an OPS of 1.062. He is hitting .332 with runners on giving him 78 RBI’s. He is also batting .302 with runners in scoring position and 62 RBI’s after such a dismal start with runners in scoring position.

David Wright took 26 bases on balls in the month of august and has 81 for the year.
If David can walk just 19 more times in September then he may also become the member of a very elusive club. (see below)

30 Steals, 100 RBI, 100 Runs, and 100 walks.

Only 10 times in history has someone had a season with 30 Steals, 100 RBI, 100 Runs, and 100 walks and only 4 players have accomplished this in a single season. Joe Morgan, (once) Jeff Bagwell, (twice) Barry Bonds, (4 times) and Bobby Abreau (3 times).

Here is something none of them or anyone else ever did!!
30 Steals, 100 RBI, 100 Runs, 100 walks and 180 hits.

David Wright has 163 hits as of 9/5/2007. In his worst month of the year David had 22 hits. That’s when he batted .244. David’s best month was August and he had 39 hits with 26 walks. If he falls somewhere in the middle here then he could and should be the first ever player to accomplish this goal below:

30 Steals, 100 RBI, 100 Runs, 100 walks and 180 hits.

AROD never did this, Vlad never did this, Joe Dimagio never did this and Ty Cobb never did this. No one ever did this in the modern era.

Take in account he is on pace to clear 30 homers, bat .315 and have an on base percentage close to .410. David Wright could be looking at something like below.

30+ Steals, 100+ RBI, 100+ Runs, 100+ walks and 180+ hits 30+ HR .315 AVG .400 OBP.

If this is not an MVP season then I do not know what is. This should be enough for the first New York Mets player to ever win the MVP award. He does it all and is clearly the best player on the best team in the National League. If that doe not help, below are his stats from August which is a very crucial month in the push for the pennant.

.394 Average, .516 OBP, .657 SLG, 1.173 OPS.

David Wright for MVP!!!

Impressive numbers but I would be suprised if Prince Fielder doesnt get it. Did you do all of that research on your own?

i see no problem with him being MVP. Other players to consider: fielder, peavy, byrnes, pujols, rollins, howard, burrell. Don't laugh at burrell, the phillies didn't start playing good ball until he got hot. People always seem to forget the award is Most Valuable.

reyes might hurt wright. being on a winning team definitely helps. hell, whoever wins wild card should get

You know who is having a quiet great season is Curtis Granderson of the Tigers. He has the most extra base hits in baseball and is close to setting the modern era record for triples. His only knock is that he strikes out a lot (Currently #4 I think).

but we're talking about NL.

reyes shouldn't even be in consideration. It's his fault, the Mets haven't pulled away. His OPS is a paltry .796, i'd hardly consider that impressive. He needs to step it up, if the mets wanna go anywhere.

well reyes numbers have drop, along with castillo's. i though the Reyes-Castillo-Wright would produce tons of runs. but the first two need to get on base. If Wright stays in the three hole next year he will put up some early bonds numbers. too bad he so far away from a gold glover defender

The thread title just says MVP....

I was just mentioning Curtis because you were talking stats and who was having a MVP-type year.

BTW, Granderson just got his 20th steal to become the 3rd player ever with 20+ HR, 3B, 2B and steals.

my bad, i just took it to mean NL, since the thread was about Wright. But yeah, granderson is great. unfortunately for him, the race has some down to maggs and a-rod.

Yeah, I don't see anyone outside of those two having any opportunity. I'd like to see Maggs win it because he has totally transformed his game, hitting for average and being the total clutch player for the Tigers. However, with A-Rod being from NY and hitting 50+ (maybe 60+ by the end) HRs, I don't see how he doesn't win it.

another plus for arod is that his team will make the playoffs and the tigers won't.

That remains to be seen....

If NY plays like they did the first half, all bets are off.

Who was it that was bitching about Wrights power numbers earlier this year? He has been absolutely sick this year. The Mets are lucky they locked him up to a long term contract early or else they would probaly have had to dish out at least 150 mill to keep him.

me. hey, not many all stars stay cold for over a month. it was kinda weird, especially when coupled with his power stats from the 2nd half last year.

It's too bad for him, castillo and reyes can't get on base. Imagine how many RBI he'd have by now?

30-30 club. if the phils making it end, looks for rollins

Brandon Phillips should join him in the 30-30 club in the next few days. 31 steals and 29 jacks for BP.

unfortunately, i don't think he's got a shot at the MVP.

I wasn't implying that. i know he has no chance in hell to even get a vote.

i know. i'm just saying it's unfortunate.

Not really. I am as big of a fan of BP as there is but he doesn't deserve the MVP consideration because a) the Reds blow and b) he is top five in the national league in outs (hitting). While he does have great power, speed and defensive ability this cat has a horrendous OBP and OPS for as good of power numbers as he has.

you misunderstand me. i know he doesn't deserve it. Like you said, the reds are awful, although i didn't know about the OBP thing. I'm just saying, the guy's such a great story, it sucks he isn't in the running for some award.
