February 11, 200422 yr You brought up a great point. Farmer and Rooney mentioned a few times last year that Wright can get through an opponent's batting order once and maybe twice, but then they sit on his stuff. We do need a long reliever, and he does have an arm capable of 2-5 innings. I'm sure Ozzie can see that, or at least I hope he does.
February 11, 200422 yr Danny Wright may be a guy that really steps up big time for the Sox. I still have high expecations for him (Although it seems I'm the only one).
February 11, 200422 yr (Although it seems I'm the only one). That's because D Wright circa June 2003 was a completly different pitcher from DW circa September 2002..... the one whom we all liked and expected big things from. Don Cooper must prove to me once and for all why he shouldn't be chased out of the clubhouse with a electric broom.

February 11, 200422 yr Author Danny Wright may be a guy that really steps up big time for the Sox. I still have high expecations for him (Although it seems I'm the only one). i havent given up on danny either...but i dont know where he fits into the sox plans this year.. i wouldnt mind him starting the season as the long man and if he pitches well then later in the season move him into the 5th spot if we are still looking to fill it...i think its real important for danny to have some success to build on this year

I don't think Cooper had anything to do with Wright's struggles.
February 11, 200422 yr The circa 2003 Danny Wright was recovering from an injury. I don't think Cooper had anything to do with Wright's struggles. He was also rushed back due to lack of pitching (remember outside of Loaiza, and maybe Colon no one on the staff was doing much). I do think he would be better suiting being a long reliever, but I definitely haven't given up on him as a starter.
February 11, 200422 yr Without a 3rd pitch he's not a starter and him being injured or not wasn't going to change that.
February 11, 200422 yr Without a 3rd pitch he's not a starter and him being injured or not wasn't going to change that. Where can I find a listing of what pitches each pitcher throws?
February 11, 200422 yr Where can I find a listing of what pitches each pitcher throws? That info is not listed anywhere I know of. Watching games and listening to broadcasters with a scouting report or two mixed in is the only way I know of.
February 11, 200422 yr Danny lost velocity AND movement off his heater, AND his curve was absolute garbage.....compared to where it was in August-September of 2002 when looked really good.
