And Wright has a lot to prove.  No doubts there.  
Agree also that with any veteran pitcher, you'll find 3-week stretches in which he threw great.
Agree also that in principle, if there's no compelling factor in a specific case, Wright's the last guy you want to bet on (unless in a stoploss situation).
Will also be watching to see if the ST/April pitch mix persists.  Yet another big caveat.

Don't know if you've been watching Wright on TV, Sandy, probably not?
But he visually looks night-and-day from the old Wright.   The statline is not the reason I'm intrigued.  ... ten games with no walks is something that might (and does) occur to anybody.  Silva had a great two months.
The weird thing is the way he is throwing the ball.  The game against Texas, that's who he's been since March:  a 33-33-33 pitcher who throws everything to spots at will.  All of a sudden he'll start a Josh Hamilton type off with a show-me tease FB and then two change curves, and that was never Jamey Wright.

As posted above, the thing to do here is not to give him $25M, but to watch for further developments.
