November 30, 200421 yr About 15 teams have inquired about him? Bet you did not know that. :banghead Sorry I misssed the Portalnd Beavers and Indy Indians :rolly
November 30, 200421 yr Sorry I misssed the Portalnd Beavers and Indy Indians :rolly You're a funny guy.......ever thought about being a comedian?? :rolly
November 30, 200421 yr If Wright's healthy, he's a great pick up. The problem is he is rarely healthy. He throws hard. He started the 7th game of the 1997 World Series I believe, and I think he was a rookie. He was a stud prospect who is back off the garbage heap. 3 years sounds like a bit much, but probably no more than they were willing to give Vizquel which may may the Sox a player for one of the top SS. Also, he may be a replacement for Garland if Jon goes to Arizona for the Big Unit.
November 30, 200421 yr Author Santo was this just on espnnews?? Right after I saw you posted this I ran downstairs to see and they were talking about Willingham. Yeah, Peter was on RIGHT (or should I say Wright? ) before that. Maybe he'll be on SC. He also thinks that Pedro WILL end up with the Mets because Pedro would like to take advantage of the NL, and the fourth option year is what will keep the Red Sox from signing him.
November 30, 200421 yr Do you think it's a possibility that Mazzone taught him how to pitch and now he'll take that with him? Like I said I don't know a ton about Wright but from what I know Wright used to just be a fireballer and last year he learned how to actually pitch. If he was there for two or three years then i would say that he should be fine. But last year was basically the only year of his career he ever had nearly that type of success. Four era is the best i can see him having here and i am being generous i think.

November 30, 200421 yr Sorry I misssed the Portalnd Beavers and Indy Indians :rolly I could not even pretend to be as retarded as you.
November 30, 200421 yr atlanta certainly has a great record for evaluating talent. why would they let him go?
November 30, 200421 yr I could not even pretend to be as retarded as you. Wait your not pretending? OO sorry I take it easy on you..
November 30, 200421 yr atlanta certainly has a great record for evaluating talent. why would they let him go? Free agency, no choice. Wright pitching against the Sox this year was one of the most dominating pitching performances I saw at the Cell.
November 30, 200421 yr atlanta certainly has a great record for evaluating talent. why would they let him go? No money, they wanted to try and muster up enough money for drew, but that looks unlikely too.
November 30, 200421 yr I was on this guy's bandwagon at the start of last year. He was healthy with an excellent pitching coach. Hopefully he can stay healthy and still be as sharp as last season. He looks to be better than anything else we can get. Edited November 30, 200421 yr by danman31
November 30, 200421 yr Free agency, no choice. Wright pitching against the Sox this year was one of the most dominating pitching performances I saw at the Cell. When healthy he has been a great pitcher. He could blow out again. His career looks a lot like Jason Bere's. Starts off great, gets hurt, is horrible, has a good season, gets a decent payday. Bere's career countinued with gets hurt again, and is done.

November 30, 200421 yr Wright Stats And you people are willing to play almost 7 mil a year to this guy??? And I am called crazy :rolly FYI 2002 was by far his best year :rolly
November 30, 200421 yr Wright Stats And you people are willing to play almost 7 mil a year to this guy??? And I am called crazy :rolly FYI 2002 was by far his best year :rolly When did anyone say here that they are willing to pay him 7 million. Why don't you read the damn thread before you make up more bulls***.
November 30, 200421 yr Free agent Jaret Wright and the White Sox may be close to a three-year deal, ESPN's Peter Gammons reports. White Sox GM Ken Williams isn't afraid to roll the dice. Wright doesn't figure to be quite so effective away from Braves pitching coach Leo Mazzone, but he could at least be a solid third starter for the next few years. Nov. 30 - 5:27 pm et
November 30, 200421 yr OK. what's he gonna get paid? i'll go 3 years 20 mil. When did anyone say here that they are willing to pay him 7 million. Why don't you read the damn thread before you make up more bulls***. Maybe one should take thier own advise :rolly
November 30, 200421 yr Maybe one should take there own advise :rolly *their, *advice That was just somebody speculating.
