Disgruntled Cubs fan here: I'm tired of David Wright over-praise. His reputation is a product of his media-market. I'm not saying he's not a very good thirdbaseman, but look at his batting stats compared to Aramis Ramirez and tell me they're THAT much better. Short of base stealing, they are VERY comparable. And, last year Ramirez had a better year in the field.
Watch out for the Detroit Tigers this season; outstanding lineup and solid rotation
Why don't you discuss why baseball has changed to a business from a sport? Who cares about teams anymore when the players are just auctioned off and grouped as juiced mercenaries in a stage show for big corporation's advertising?
