I've seen nothing to convince me he can be a back end reliever.  

Was disappointing not seeing a velocity spike when he was used in relief.

It's amazing how some guys can be pretty effective in AAA but can't translate it to the majors.  

Not really, just another prospect in a long line of others before him, that was good enough to do well in AAA, but just didnt have good enough stuff for the majors.

I don't see it either, but if Wright wants a 10 year MLB career I think his best shot is being a reliever.

If he wants a 10 year career he should try throwing with the other arm.

Flashes of what, exactly? I've seen a good 4-seamer that, when located, was pretty nasty. But he's all but abandoned it because he can't command the thing. He's Daniel Cabrera when Daniel Cabrera went full 2-seamer for that one season. It's an effective pitch, but when they start zeroing in on it, what offspeed pitch is he going to go to? A slider that he can't command? A middling change up? 

Obviously the flashes are when he can command it.

So he's a one pitch pitcher? Or are you seeing some offspeed stuff that I'm not? 

I have seen him break off the occasional plus breaking ball.

Like I said flashes.

How come Verrett hasn't got any attention as a spot starter?

I'd like to see Nuno and Wright each pitch 4ish innings in the last ST games. Then let each of them make a start in AAA. Then call up whoever has pitched better when we need a fifth starter.

I am still a big fan of Mike Wright. I think he is going to come through this season, and pitch respectable baseball out of the 5 slot.

Wright preparing to start?  Whats he been smoking?

I'd rather have the coach in with a pitching machine lobbing meat balls than have Wright start an MLB game this year.

Yes, but if you take away those seven hits and five runs, he actually pitched a pretty good couple innings.
