David Wright adjusting to slow spring training schedule

PORT ST. LUCIE — There is a calendar in David Wright’s house that is testing his patience. The Mets captain likes schedules. He likes to know what he will be doing for the next few days, weeks or even months. In past springs, Wright would have his workout days scheduled on that calendar, the dates he was playing in the Mets’ Grapefruit League games would be circled.

As of Saturday, that calendar has no date circled. The Mets are starting their second week of games, and Wright said he has significant work to do before he is ready to play.
