There's an article in the current Inside Pitch about the rate at which Johan Santana can approach some Mets milestones. Admittedly, he's a few years away from anything of significance.
Of a more immediate nature, David Wright is going to climb some team lists this season.
* Wright currently ranks 5th in team history with 130 home runs. With 25, he'll pass Dave Kingman into 4th place on the Mets all-time list.
* Wright ranks 7th in Mets history in RBI with 489. If healthy, he'll pass Cleon Jones (521) and Edgardo Alfonzo (538) for sure. A 126 RBI season slips him past Ed Kranepool (614) into 4th place.
* Wright (819) should also move into the top 10 on the all-time Mets hit list. Jose Reyes (919) will as well. The current 10-spot holder is Keith Hernandez with 939, 20 more than Reyes and 120 more than Wright. Reyes should be Top 5 by the end of the season, as he's 110 hits behind current 5-spot holder Bud Harrelson (1,029). Wright's top target is 9th-place holder Jerry Grote (994) and 8th-place holder Howard Johnson (997).
* Speaking of Reyes, he's likely to be 2nd in team history in runs scored by years end. Jose stands 7th now with 533, but Howard Johnson's 627 for 2nd place is well within reach. Wright (464)should be top-6 by years end, with his top likely target Cleon Jones 563 runs scored, which presently ranks 5th.
* There is a club record well within reach for Wright this season. His 183 doubles presently rank 6th in Mets history. Your all-time club leader is Ed Kranepool with 225, and it's neat that Wright is 42 shy, since that's the number of doubles he's hit in each of the last two seasons.
