I gotta say that Wright need's to build some confidence so I'd send him down when Wuncsh comes back.

I believe Wright is out of options.

I don't see how sending a guy down would enstill confidence in him.

It's too early to say this. Cotts hasn't proved enough yet.

Who the hell is Neal Cott's?

 

:lol:

Did anyone else see Wright warming up in the bullpen with Marte in tonights game?? Maybe a sign of things to come.

I have an idea. Let's make Scott Schoenweis the 5th starter...

 

...after we trade for the ace pitcher we need.

 

Give me Kip Wells, give me Randy Johnson(after Arizona takes on Carlos Lee and his monstous contract along with taking on some salary) even if he is 40, uglier then s***, and off at times this year. He's also had is A game at times, and when he has his A game, he is un-f***ing-hittable. He could get us to the playoffs very, very easily, and once there, could quite possibly guide us to victory.

 

Is that OK with you, or not?

I was wondering the same thing. I hope it's a sign.

Isn't RJ supposed to make 15 million in 2005? We could've had a real second baseman for one million dollars, and apparently that was too much.

Yeah, Johnson is declining. I'll take Kris Benson in the last year of his contract, or Kip Wells, for a combo of Rauch and, another mid-level prospect, but none of Reed, Anderson, Sweeney, and Honel.

Jon Adkins.

Good idea, lets send our 5th starter the past 3 seasons and previous 14 game winner down to the minors to get "confindence" in himself, im sure that will help him out a ton

It's not OK with me. Not for Carlos Lee.

Nahhh, if the Sox wanted an old pitcher who only occasionally has his good game, they could have gone after Maddux and not had to give up anyone to get him!

 

I would like to see them get a top-line guy, but I just don't think that'll happen, so it's down to making the best of who they have. Wright hasn't lost me yet - I really do think he'll settle in and have a good year.

 

Oh, and I CERTAINLY don't make that trade if Carlos is involved!!

I'm not the biggest fan of Danny Wright, but I do think it's still a little too early to take him out of the role as a starter. Furthermore, I'm still not sure that Cotts has proved that he can handle being a starter yet. He's been doing well in the bullpen, but I want to see more from him first. But if after a few more games, Danny hasn't improved much, then I think it'll be time to start thinking about trying something else.

BEAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wub:

Yes, send down Wright when Wuncsh comes back.

I don't think Wright is going to cut it as a starter. It's time for this experiment to end. That being said, I don't think Cotts is ready to be a starter. He has a 0.00 ERA so far, but what's he done with inherited runners. I know he let one score Tuesday night.

Wright will be better suited for the pen. Cotts will be better suited for 5th spot.

Why are so many people hell bent on keeping Lee? I don't think he is that great personally. Especially if we could get a decent pitcher and maybe clear payroll.

I think it's too early and we're definitely not into any type of panic mode or anything, let these guys get settled into roles a little.

Danny showed some great stuff out of the pen last year. Lets just use him there and bring cotts up to start... wunsch seems pretty un-needed... although i really like the guy... If it came down to it though i'd dump wright over wunsch in an instant
