Wilpon discusses Wright, teams play, minor league system

Prior to tonight's game, Jeff Wilpon spoke with reporters and according to MetsBlog's Vinny Cartiglia, stated there is no reason to rush the David Wright situation, saying:

'As Sandy said last night. He is under contract this year. We have an option for next year. There is no gun to anybody's head. So, let it just play out. At the right time, Sandy and I will discuss it and it will move on.'

Wilpon went on to say that Wright is very special to him personally, the organization, the fan base, and the community. So, 'Give it time. Let it play out. And, we will hopefully have a good conclusion.'

He also discussed the team's play thus far, saying he is 'happy.' Though it is not unexpected. 'Listening to Sandy and the baseball guys. They thought we would have a competitive team. And that's what they are showing.'

Wilpon also praised the Minor League system for being better than people had given it credit for, as well as the club's depth; citing the fact the Mets are on their fourth string shortstop.  Wilpon went on to say a lot of different guys are contributing and 'it's great to see.'
