Captain Wright Impressed By Mets’ Character, Clubhouse

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBSNewYork/AP) — David Wright isn’t sure how an intangible issue like character factors into wins and losses and the divisional race in the National League East.

Still, the career-long Met is impressed by the leadership qualities in the clubhouse around him.

“I’ve never been around this good a mix of veteran guys in the clubhouse, but it’s also the attitude of the younger guys to go along with the depth we have. As far as the kind of clubhouse that we have, I’ll put our character guys that we have in there up against anybody,” the 34-year-old third baseman said after a Monday workout.
