\"\"<\/a>David Wright is not throwing in public this Spring Training. Various different beat reporters are reporting that when he \u2018throws\u2019 it\u2019s behind closed doors, and have begun to wonder why. Could the Mets be bamboozling us? Is he not really throwing? Can he not throw? Maybe he doesn\u2019t even have a right arm. Maybe that\u2019s not even really David Wright!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t it obvious? He\u2019s had robotic parts grafted onto his arm to help with the throws from third. He\u2019s testing out and perfecting the motion of it so it looks human, and\u00a0allowing the skin to properly heal over the metal so it\u2019s not obvious. They\u2019ve floated various vague excuses about college games and not letting the media see rusty David Wright, but the truth is not so much rust as oil, as in making sure the robotic parts are working well and doing any software updates that need to happen on his new arm. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Additionally, the Mets don\u2019t want MLB to get wind of it. Cyborgs in MLB are not something that\u2019s been discussed yet, and the Mets don\u2019t want their star third baseman tied up in legal debates about what is, and is not, human. Sources familiar with this sort of quandary say that the Mets hope to casually add cyborg rules into the next CBA, hoping to have Wright slide under the radar until then. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. Robert Watkins is the one that performed the surgery on Wright\u2019s neck. At least, that\u2019s what we\u2019re told. The building in which Watkins operates is also home to an \u2018electronics store\u2019, and a little investigation into that store leads to connections to the government and the defense department. It\u2019s pretty clear that David Wright has new cutting edge technology built into his body by government scientists. Captain America has always been a government super soldier, and that moniker has never been more fitting for Wright. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I reached out to the company, but they\u2019ve been unresponsive to inquiries on this, which is definitely fishy. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It will probably take him some time to fully calibrate the new tech, but don\u2019t be surprised if Wright is a leading MVP candidate by the summer time. Years from now we\u2019ll look back on this moment as groundbreaking in Human-Cyborg relations. It\u2019s why Terry Collins\u2019 new nickname is 3PO. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
