Chisoxfn Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 He threw today and Manuel said that he is doing a lot better. Thats definately some good news. They are talking that he needs to get in a 5 inning outing or I think thats what they said. Also talked about Loiaza and there is a real good shot that Esteban will be the 5th, but JM kept saying good things about Wright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't belive it to I see it..He'll end up on the DL.. everytime I hear inflamation in the elbow and crap like that, it always worries me..and it's a Sox pitcher, so fear for the worst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if Bartolo, Mark, Jonny G, Koch, Gordon, Marte, Thomas, Maggs, Konerko, Valentin, and Crede are down....as long as Danny's healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 I just thought of something that made me feel pretty good about Wright being #5. Herm Schneider said "There's still about a half a month left (for spring training), and my goal is to get him ready to pitch five innings and then build from there." When I read that, I realized something. If he's #5, the next 2 games we'll have Buehrle and Colon on the hill. What that means is that if the pen gets a bit stretched out in Wright's start, it's not that big of a deal, because Buehrle and Colon often go into the 7th inning and beyond, so the pen gets a virtual off-day. Even when Mark has a bad game, he always goes into at least the 6th, and I think Bartolo does the same...so I think the Sox will be fine.

The bullpen is then used for 4. Hopefully, we'd be able to score a lot of runs during his start(much like we did last year) and he could be gone by the 5th....and we could use Glover for 2-3 innings....and then White for 1-2 innings....and then, if necessary, Gordon or Marte for the 9th. We'd still have a somewhat fresh bullpen. Hopefully, Loaiza will go 6 or 7 innings his first start....maybe even 8. That would be a real sigh of relief.

method Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 The other board i visit someone reported that Wright has a few small bone chips in his elbow. Said person wishes they would give wright another MRI since often swelling prevents getting a compelte picture... I bet he does have bone chips. And they are going to try and just have him pitch the season and get surgery after the year... kinda like a sasaki for the M's did last year... I would rather they just shut him down for the 6-8 weeks it would take and do it now... he'd back by may... its not like we need a 5th starter that much till then anywaz....

I would rather they just shut him down for the 6-8 weeks it would take and do it now... he'd back by may... its not like we need a 5th starter that much till then anywaz.... We could use Stewart until Danny comes back....and Stewart gives us another lefty out of the pen, unless he is scheduled to start in the near future. And he could still come out of the pen and give us an inning or two. I'd like that idea. Besides, there's a difference between Sasaki and Wright....I'm not sure how long Sasaki had them, but Wright will have them the whole year, and Wright is a starter....something Sasaki is not. Sasaki will come in for 1 inning a game, or at the most, 2....if Wright goes 1 or 2 innings as a starter, he is nothing. I don't want to ruin his career by making him pitch hurt....just let him have the surgery to remove them and let him be back by June or July or whenever....don't rush him back.

It's only when the pain becomes to much to handle does it become a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxPride3035 Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 I'm glad, just like everyone else, that Wright is getting better. I hope he will be ready for the season opener, and things are looking good right about now. What we are all waiting for though is the Sox's 5th game to see who our #5 starter is. It is mostly a competition between Rauch and Loaiza. As much as I want Rauch in that 5th spot, Loaiza is doing much better in Spring Training which will be a huge factor in deciding who will take the 5th spot.

If I were Danny, I would get the surgery now. Better to miss a little over half a season and play out his career than to play half a season and then be done for his career.

whitesox247 Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 It starts as a little irritation, and they say the're fine, but pretty soon, it'll turn into a season-long injury. Better miss a couple of starts than being out for the season. Give Wright some more rest. If hes not ready to start in the reg season, go with Loaiza, then Rauch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If hes not ready to start in the reg season, go with Rauch, then Loaiza it wont be rauch..he at this pointin time is behind both stewart and heredia for that final spot...he seems to be all screwed up in the head right now..according to DJ he said on tv yesterday if wright cant go the 5th spot looks to be stewart's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I just hope the Sox don't screw this kid up. Get his arm fixed, let him get healthy and then pitch him. Don't make him pitch, or allow him to pitch, until you are sure his arm is sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
