Who do you think is the leader of the Mets ala Hernandez or Carter?  I look in the dugout and I just don't see a vocal kick you in the ass kind of leader.  Do you?

No.  There really hasn't been one for a few years.  Word was, when Lo Duca was here, he was the closest thing to it.  But he obviously wasn't any where near Hernandez or Carter.  Probably the last person who came closest was John Franco.

You need to be  loud, vocal and kick @ss to be a leader. There's more then one way to be a leader.

If you're looking for that loud mouth rah rah type of leader, then I don't think the Mets have one. The Mets has a list of leaders that lead in other area; such as on-field play, media coverage, mentorship etc. It's hard for anyone to be that rah rah leader (as a player) right now anyway. No one is consistent enough to tell another the player to get off his a$$ and produce. Well.. maybe Ryan Church , but he's a newcomer so that's not his position. Like someone said before Paul Lo Duca was that person, but that's because his personality was just that.. LOUD!

I think Wright will become this type of leader eventually, but he doesn't quite have the experience yet.  Give him a couple more years and he can lead the Mets for the rest of his career.

we have a few leaders on the team but no one in particular. wagner is our bullpen leader, pedro is our starters leader and wright is our offense leader and reyes is our defense leader. no body really takes total control, but in a few years perhaps months, it will be #5...he is going to be our on and off field captain.

13-0, who the ef is going to have a players only meeting and get this team in order.  I agree that you don't need to be the get in your face leader but this team lacks leadership.

Wagner reminds me of the "good ol' uncle who gets drunk and tells his nieces and nephews how their parents play frisky at night" type...

He will end up being a bitter old man...and he is awesome.
