The New York Yankees' arms race against the Boston Red Sox took a major blow Saturday. ESPN's Steve Phillips is reporting that pitcher Jaret Wright, who reportedly agreed on a three-year, $21 million deal, failed his physical. The Yankees are asking Wrigh
They can have him. Hopefully he'll revert to his pre-Atlanta form...
Be careful TLR...the only thing that stopped him with Cleveland was arm trouble...and a shitty delivery that cause the arm trouble...
Wright has incredible stuff...remember what he did as a rookie for the Indians in 1997...he pretty much single handedly carried them to the Series...then handed them a 1-0 lead through the seventh inning of game 7...
mazzone straightened out his delivery...if he continues to maintain it...and his arm remains healthy...he COULD end up being a high-end pitcher...
To many questions though...
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
I'm banking/hoping on him NOT maintaining the rebuilt delivery with Mazzonne out of the picture.
I actually meant I hoped he reverted to his post-Cleveland, pre-Atlanta form (poor mechanics, arm trouble, a world of potential and it was nowhere to be seen).
Wright was a flamethrower...who used Daddy to help with the delivery...which is why it sucked....
Cleveland was actually looking at resigning him...wasn't to be though...and I'm fine with that...he's not worth 7 million...not based on 1 year...
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
Nothing worse to deal with than a pitcher's father!
You probably won't be missing anything by him not signing with the Tribe...especially at $7 mil/year. Keep trying to develop the younger arms instead...
