Sports Illustrated's Tom Verducci has a great profile of New York Mets third baseman David Wright. He also mentions this important point:
"If you watched Tiger Woods hack and shank his way around Augusta National last weekend, his mind cluttered with swing thoughts, you understand what can happen when an emphasis on mechanics passes a tipping point and becomes destructive. Wright might not have been baseball's Woods, but in 2008 noted baseball writer and stats guru Bill James told 60 Minutes that if he could pick one player to start his dream team, it would be Wright, who was then embarking on his age-25 season. "He does everything I like. And he's very young," James said."
Let's hope Verducci is right about Wright beginning the third act of his career.
