Read all about it.

On August 23, 2011, Wright got to play right field for a third of an inning in a game against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. After Wright began the 8th inning by retiring Carlos Gonzalez, manager Brad Mills brought in righthander David Carpenter to face Troy Tulowitzki and sent Wright to RF, a position he had not played since high school, taking over for Brian Bogusevic. After Tulowitzki made an out, Wright returned to the mound, while J.B. Shuck took over in right field and Carpenter left the game. Wright struck out Todd Helton to end the inning.

That's a cool move!

I'll be interested in hearing the financial terms. Imagine he's cheap. K rate drop and putting a lot of runners on is worrisome. But then...I wasn't in favor of giving Miller huge dollars, either.

I figure he is 2 million.

The BP is full with holdovers and Rule 5 selections. It's time to move Matusz. What are they paying this guy?

It's not really a "This Guy." It's the lefty that get out both left handers and right handers that we have said we would sign. We are done with that now.

Can we make him wear his hat correctly???????

Can he get outs in a pennant race? He didn't for BAL.

We were going to DFA him. And we had to. That's what happens when you are good, and you have full roster of folks you can't option.

His WHIP isn't impressive. He is definitely making the club in your opinion? He should earn spot.

That's right, I wish Pete the best, but he didn't pitch well for us in 2013.

I'm not as high on this guy was I was on Ryan Webb, and I'll leave it at that.

Depth move. Unexciting.

For what its worth, I remember hearing this guy was THE leader in the Astros clubhouse. Tremendous character.

That's fantastic.

This is much better than Craig Breslow.

Is he good enough to be a Miller replacement?

Wesley Wright isn't getting $36/4, so that should answer that question.

He's like a Darren Oliver. He is only 29 or 30.

So you mean he's more like Darren Oliver's grandchild.

Exactly.
