Why Mike Wright Has Closer Potential (Update: To Start for Baltimore 5/17)

Hmm. Should I have a breakdown and make a post that I am done with this board? And then come back. And then say I quit again? Or is that only a Rene88 thing?

I think I have to correct you first.

Oops!

[Crazysilver03]

Enough. I am reporting your post. My point is the same: you are posting redundant material.

Weren't you just the one that said if you can't take it don't dish it out? How much of a hypocrite do you want to prove yourself in one thread?

Hah yes. Report the post that provides useful information, but the one with the title "my eyes bleed for David Lough" is just fine?

Oops!

Ugh now you have done it. You sir. Just, ugh, I quit.

I am back now.

[Crazysilver03]

I was intrigued that the announcers said Wright was heavily requested in trade talks. Wonder for whom is name was brought up about.

[Rene88]

Dude, you have serious issues. God bless.

[Crazysilver03]

Dude, you have serious issues. God bless.

Nope. I am perfectly fine. My eyes dont bleed.

[Rene88]

Ah yes, the rational dream of a person who wants to get rid of the left-handed reliever who is holding left-handers to a .133/.188/.333.521 slash line.

Problem is, Buck doesn't strictly use him in that capacity AND he makes a lot of moola.

[Tony-OH]

Can he get lefties out?

He's done a decent job this year holding them to a .238 BAVG and a 1.33 WHIP. The changeup should allow him to be fairly effective against lefties. His fastball command will dictate his success though. If he's improved it enough to hit his spots or if a velocity spike occurs due to shorter innings then he'll be fine. I kinda like him in the 6th/7th/8th inning role. I'm interested in seeing how he looks now since I haven't seen him personally since Bowie.

Enough. Take it offline or better yet drop it altogether.

Ok, man, but you realize you're now POSTING in more than one thread about Mike Wright.

Careful now....

[Tony-OH]

Problem is, Buck doesn't strictly use him in that capacity AND he makes a lot of moola.

What does that have to do with getting rid of him? Unless you can trade him, that money is spent. Matusz has not been very effective against righties this year but if he's used correctly, he can help this team win. I'd dump Hunter long before Matusz but then again, I've never been much of a Hunter fan on the mound.

[Il BuonO]

Oops, sorry bout that Tony.

[Crazysilver03]

Enough. Take it offline or better yet drop it altogether.

Agreed. There was no reason for it to happen at all.
