i just dont think danny has the stuff to be a ML starter...  He works really great out of the BP.  i think we should pull a switch with him and cotts

That's exactly what I think should happen, a switch-up of Danny Wright and Cotts. Give Cottsy a shot to start, damnit, he's earned it.

Don't get me wrong, I am not expecting miracles from Neal right now.

 

But at least he has a bulldog mentality, and I'd rather Sox go down swinging than forfeit every time Wrong takes the mound.

 

I'd rather have Danny at 3.00 ERA in long relief than at 6.00 ERA as starter. But that's just me.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not totally disgusted with Danny Wright's performances thus far. He clearly hasn't had his best stuff in either of his starts, yet he's kept us in both of the games he's started. Isn't that all you can really ask for from your fifth guy, well, in our situation?

 

My thinking, as well as many others, is that if you can get better production out of another player at that role, in this case the fifth starter role, than you make that switch. But it is a double bonus, as, if things go right, you can get better production our of both Cotts in the fifth starter spot, and Wright in the long relief spot. I feel a move like this actually makes our rotation AND our bullpen better, because, for some reason, Wright seems to pitch a lot better out of the bullpen than as a starter.
