maggsmaggs Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 cbssportsline's Scott Miller reported that Jaret Wright flunked his physical with the Yankees because of a shoulder problem. http://cbs.sportsline.com/mlb/story/7988141 Meanwhile, there appears to be a mysterious holdup in the Jaret Wright deal with the Yankees. Wright last week agreed to terms on a three-year, $22.5 million deal, but reports are that his shoulder didn't pass the Yankees' stringent physical examination. Maybe the Sox aren't so stupid after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 They were smart for not offering him more than 5-6 million for him in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Omar Vizquel failed a physical last season too -- he then put up a .291/.353/.388 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Omar Vizquel failed a physical last season too -- he then put up a .291/.353/.388 season. Maybe a break for us? If it's nothing TOO serious, I wouldn't mind giving him four-five million over two years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Maybe a break for us? If it's nothing TOO serious, I wouldn't mind giving him four-five million over two years... I was thinking the same thing, but if its his shoulder it could be a waste of money. I still think the Yankees may have buyer's remorse because they are rumored to sign Pavano and Milton, will probably land RJ and can't give Kevin Brown away. With Mussina still in pinstripes that doesn't leave much room for Wright. Hopefully, after all Wright has been through with the injuries, this isn't anything too serious.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Maybe Jaret might be willing to sign a one year deal at like 3 mil to prove that he's really healthy.... It might be something worth looking into if our doctors think he's ok to pitch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Mike Sirotka failed a physical and never pitched again. stay away from Jaret. he's damaged goods, who has already missed major time with injuries. the Braves haven't won 13 straight titles being stupid. There is a reason they are letting him walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 No suprise to me he flunked I did not want this guy at any price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Honestly I wouldn't mind signing him if he can pass a physical with our team. However I wouldn't give him anywhere close to what the Yanks almost gave him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 More lucky than stupid. Lucky not to offer a one year wonder 7+ million a year? I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
