Cash: Wright may not return

BY SAM BORDEN
DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER

MILWAUKEE - The Yankees hope to have Jaret Wright back by the All-Star break, but GM Brian Cashman acknowledged yesterday that it is "possible" the righthander could be out for the year.

"I think it's a question mark," Cashman said. "It's possible we don't see him at all."

Wright is in "shutdown" mode right now, according to Joe Torre, after reporting soreness following a long-toss session Monday in Tampa. Wright was sent for an MRI after complaining of pain, but the test did not show any changes from the previous one. Cashman said the Yanks hope Wright will resume his throwing program on Saturday.

We should be so lucky. I hope he's out for the year, they can buy him out and save a bundle.

Yup and keep The Wanger in the rotation. Also, that woman in Taiwan won't have to worry about her petition. :rolleyes:

Yeah, although that buyout is for 2007. He'd still be here next year.

So you stick him in the pen for the year and let him rot.

It was a stupid signing before they did it, it was stupid the day they announced it, and its stupid now.

There was no reason not to take a shot at Clement to fill that role. More upside, less money, less of a wild card physically.

And before the inevitable criticism comes in calling this hindsight, I'm on record with at least one person of stating this in the winter.

This could very well be the dumbest signing/trade Cashman and company have ever made.

Sure Giambi is in roid decline, his body is breaking down, but at the time he was a stud, not a terrible move, but we should have took caution.

Contreras was a f*cking beast in Cuba, and outside of being soft and having control issues is indeed a pretty decent pitcher.

Weaver was a nut case, a flake from Cali, but you know what the kid had some promise and just didn't pan out here.

Brown, hell, the guy breaks down here and there, but he's won over 200 games and he allowed us to lose Weaver.

But Jaret Wright? :wtf: I don't think he's EVER pitched 200 innings, and other then last year he hasn't done sh*t in 7 years!!!!!! I guess Big Stein and company remember the kid from '97 in the playoffs...THAT was LONG GONE. Stuipid signing. He flourished in Atlanta last year but who doesn't!!!! We SHOULD have backed WAY off!

Yeah, me. I also wanted Clement over Wright, although I don't think it was less money. Clement held out for more than that standard $7 million a year. I think he got a little more.

Vin, I agree. If it's not the worst, it's up there.

I didn't want Clement or Wright, and despite his success so far, I still wouldn't want Clement.

I didn't want him as the ace. I wanted him as the 4-5 starter, which is what he was in Chicago.

This is great news. It leaves Wang in the rotation for this year and it lets Wright rot in the pen next year.
