Cora: David is the Wright kind of leader

From the Post:

"It's very easy for us as ballplayers to deviate from our plan, our preparation, and he doesn't do that. And he's showing everybody around here that, hey, for whatever is going on around us, we've still got to show up and do our thing because there's always a chance. And I think showing guys like that, he's showing a lot of leadership."

I can't say it's the strongest statement in the world, but I certainly agree with the sentiment. Wright is the kind of guy you build a club around.

I agree, and given that the number of good years Santana has left in the tank is unknown, it would've been nice if Omar had made the offseason moves we all wanted to build that team around Johan, Wright, and K-rod.

Another good thing about Johan and K-rod in particular is that they are very intense players that don't accept poor performance, and will push those around them to do their best.
