Not a bad idea. However, based on their respective histories, Wright has the higher average which is conducive to hitting third while Beltran has had better home run numbers which makes him more of a clean up hitter.
But as you said, Wright doesn't need the bat behind him. But let's not forget that Church is back to give some more protection to Beltran so he won't be able to use that excuse for long.
