When your picking in the top 4- your expecting mvp like numbers to carry your fantasy team to a title. David Wright had a decent year as Joe said in real life...but you have to take fantasy stats and seperate them from alot of the stats out there today. The loss of Reyes and Beltran obviously played a role in that- but I don't think it's enough to warrant taking him out of the bust category completely. The power drop off has to be concerning for drafters next year. I think you can throw David Wright into the FANTASY bust categories due to the fact he was a top 4 pick in most leagues.

Atkins is just baffling to me....unbelievable. PS: David Wright may have been a fantasy bust (which is what the article's about, I know) but he was a very productive player still for the Mets (3.4 WAR....not his usual 6+, but not bad). His performance was not their problem in 2009, whereas the Cubs go as Soriano goes. When he's right, they are right. What’s bad is I had 2 of these guys on my team last year in Atkins and Hardy.
