Just wanted to give Jaret Wright some props, he's been solid all year.

Re: What a difference a year makes...

Both Wright and Drese have had very good years. Drese has been a big key to the Rangers success pitching behind Kenny Rogers, the Rangers knew he had good stuff and Orel Hershiser has been able to get him to pitch the way they thought he could. Jaret Wright has been a consistant underachiever for most of his career, after helping lead the Indians to a World Series appearence in his rookie year in 1997 he has just not been able to keep it together, more credit to how good a pitching coach Leo Mazzone is to have Wright pitching as well as he is, Wright will have to keep improving though because when Horacio Ramirex comes off the D.L. it will be between Wright and Paul Byrd as who goes to the bullpen.

I think it'll be Thomson or Byrd who goes to the pen when Ramirez returns. It's not out of the question that Ramirez goes to the pen, either. He hasn't recovered from the shoulder tendinitis as quickly as they'd hoped. They may want to ease him back in slowly.
