He's putting up just stupid Sept #s - .347 BA, .840 SLG
Now that said...if by some miracle the Phils go all Met 2007 on us down the stretch here and the Mets actually take the division...then I think Wright had a shot....but right now its Howard |
Yeah, but that begs the question where would his team be if he wasn't hitting .220 for most of the season. They'd be far ahead right now except that he was costing them games. Plus, he benefits when his team can actually close the game out with a win, making his clutch RBI's a factor. Take Wright, OTOH, who had two home runs two Sunday's ago and one this past Sunday, both of which put his tean in position to win until the bullpen blew the games.
Still, if both teams make the playoffs I think it should be Wright.
