    Will he and should he are two different things. I think he could, but I don't think he should. He's solid, but not spectacular.

      Howie Rose did mention a few weeks ago that his throws to first were better.

      Gold Glove votes don't necessarily go to the best defenders.
      The Mets have the best, smartest fans in baseball.

        Amazing that with defense one would ask such a question without putting forth the numbers. Nobody would do that for Cy Young or MVP. Wright is mid-pack in fielding pct, range factor (plays made/game), and UZR (fangraphs #). By all measures Chase Headley or Placido Polanco !?! look to be having the best defensive seasons among NL 3B.

          He's improved significantly on the defensive end.

            His throwing has gotten a lot more consistent that's for sure.

              Sorry about that, sir. The poll was a spur of the moment thought. And, in fairness, I made it so the poll closes Aug 31, and the numbers can change up or down by then.
              Put it in the books.

                I knew it woudl come as critical of the OP it was meant as a commentary on how. largely defense gets viewed. Generally people cite defense with no respect to numbers just how the guy looks. Case in point, Derek Jeter.

                  I love David Wright, but there should have been two perfect games yesterday. Should have used his glove on the only "hit" and why was he rushing his throw in the ninth?

                    Hehe, I'm guessing this was pretty poor timing to make this poll. Who knew?

                        Milladrive,you said it perfectly.Maybe it's a good idea to wait before saying anything about this so we don't make an
                        emotional response based on last night's game.

                          I thought he should have used his glove too but Wright said he used his barehand because of Upton's speed.
                          Wright also said that if it were a slower runner he would have used his glove.And Wright also said that if he
                          knew this would be the only hit he would have taken his chances and used his glove on Upton as well.

                            Wright's not the best-fielding 3B in the league - just the best 3B. No on the GG, but his defense has really improved (last night notwithstanding).

                              Hehehe... I think I'll post a new poll in August if David's situation calls for it.
