ANTHONY RECKER RUMORS

Sounding Off: Wright and Recker Both Take The Blame For Last Night’s Loss

After yesterday’s 2-1 ninth inning loss, David Wright didn’t blame the bad call at third base and instead pointed the finger of blame for the loss on himself and the rest of the offense. “Sometimes the calls go your way.

Nothing against Recker but I would prefer they bring someone in to at least compete with Recker for the position and provide depth in AAA...
