Weeks before he became the third Mets player to produce a 30-30 season, David Wright considered the significance of that round-number achievement. He knew it came with cachet and embraced what it suggested.

"I'd like to be known," he said, "as a player who does everything above average. And I think going 30-30 would be an indication that I do at least two things well." And now there is an indication, not to mention tangible evidence, that Wright excels in another facet of the game: defense. The Mets' third baseman has won a Gold Glove.

Rawlings announced the members of its 51st Gold Glove teams Tuesday, and included on the National League team were Wright and Mets center fielder Carlos Beltran.

David Wright is not Gold Glove caliber. How does someone lead the majors in errors win the GG? Atkins, Feliz, Zimmerman, and even a broke-down Rolen are more deserving.

I am happy for them both because even though Wright led the majors in errors, he is still a great player and so is Beltran. Good for them both.

David Wright? you got to be kidding me....totally not gold glove worthy this past season, won on name recognition IMO and that isn't right.
