What a bad trade by the Yankees. I look at Wright and I see a decent #3 or #4 Pitcher for the Orioles. Chris Britton is a joke and should never wear pinstripes. If the Yankees didn't want Wright they should of cut him. What do you guys think? :up:
I am not a Yankees fan as you all know. But I actually thought Britton was pretty good on the O's last year.
Jaret Wright is a bad pitcher. We should've taken anything, no matter how bad it was, for Wright... it just so happens we got a young guy who has a likely future as a good middle reliever. How can you call Britton a joke who should never wear pinstripes, and then give Wright praise? Britton has been good his entire professional career, has a good arm, and is only 24. Wright has been bad for years. At his best these days, he is a decent #5 starter for a team the caliber of the Yankees.
How is Chris Britton a joke? He's 24 years old and a young player with ability. Just by looking at his numbers, it's hard to be to impressed by his first MLB year last year. How is Jaret Wright so awesome if he couldn't even hold his own in the Yankees rotation year after year. We are bless to not have him.
Jared Wright was horrible with the Yankees.....could never get past the 5th inning. They should of never signed him to begin with. He was always hurt...nagging injuries plague him his whole career. Good Riddence!
I never said Wright was good at all, I just think that Britton isn't good. True, he is young, but I don't think he is good enough to be a Yankee. Hopefully he will prove me wrong. I thought of this because I am watching the O's-Twins. (Wright's first start as an O)
How do you figure? There were two options in the offseason: Not pick up Wright's option (i think that's what it was), or trade him. I don't understand what Britten has done to not make him a commodity for this franchise.
So Britton, a 24 year old who posted a 3.35 ERA in 53 IP in the AL East last year wasn't a good return for a mediocre 5th starter? All right then.
I remember Britton blowing games for the Orioles the last two seasons. And thinking when he was in the game that the Yankees were going to go on a scoring spree. I made this thread thinking of how he pitched for a bad team last year. I am glad everyone is optimistic about Britton.
Jaret Wright is terrible. There is no other way of saying it. Your posting style. Is a little absurd. (Just messin with ya, :up: )
I'm confused. Britton had a nice rookie year last year, gave up 47 hits in 78.2 innings in Single A baseball 2 years ago (1.60 ERA), and has progressively moved up the ranks, and we're questioning the move over the precious Jaret Wright??? Let's be honest. the only reason this trade was made was because Mazzone wanted to work on Wright again.
Clearly Wright would be a solid 3rd/4th starter on the Yankees after giving up 6 runs on 4 hits and 5 walks in 2.1 innings.
MM I would think that you would not stoop that low. Putting words in my mouth. This thread has NOTHING to do with Wright's talent. He did suck tonight though no doubt. ha ha.
