Yeah, Glavine is not having the best year. Although, the Mets always seem to get roughed up by the Braves.

Especially Wright. At least it was only 3 years.

Leo Mazzone is a genius.

I would take Glavine over Wright.

I would take Steve Avery over Wright at this point.

check his injury stats for the last 8 years. He's had arm problems his entire career, until last year. He is a great pitcher. Last year shows that, He just can't stay healthy. You know though given Kevin Brown's contract and ability, Wright is a bargain at 21 million.

If Glavine gets another 130 innings this season the next year automatically kicks in.

I swear the Yankee front office was smoking crack when they gave Wright that contract. The only silver lining (and this is a huge reach) is that if he spends more than x number of games on the DL w/ a shoulder injury, they can buy out the third year of the deal. Whoop-de-damn-do.

Against the Braves he's been horrible but you're overstating how bad he's been overall. I mean he did make the All-Star game last year. If the Mets scored some runs for him last year or played even half way decent defense behind him, he easily would have won 16 to 18 games.

Even this year he's bad very good at times. Last start before yesterday he pitched 7 innings and gave up one run on two hits. Opening day at Shea he pitched 6 innings and gave up one run on 4 hits.

I'm sorry, I don't invest $21 million in a pitcher that has had 2 full season in his career of 8 years, and his one above average season was with Leo Mazzone in Atlanta. Wright is NOT a "great" pitcher. His stats in Cleveland were terrible. He's average when healthy and detrimental to your staff due to his health. Wright took the Yankees, absolute robbery. Cashman should be worried about his own contract.

I was just trying to be positive you know. Wright was a great Pitcher for Us in Atlanta. he should be kicking half of that back down here, and for that matter so should Kevin Millwood. Like I said, Mazzone is a genius.

Especially when they could have resigned Lieber for the exact same price. It would have been nice since he performed so well in the playoffs for them. At least he's doing well in Philly.

Yes, I still can't figure out why they paid him for a year while he rehabed then he pitched well last year so they let him go.

Cashman and the other idiots basically thought they could get him cheaper then his $8M option for 05. They guessed wrong, and it cost them. The problem is that they've been guessing wrong too often when it comes to starting pitching.

If I were Cashman, I'd offer Kevin Brown, Mike Stanton, Stevek Karsay, and Tony Womack

for

Mike Cameron, Tom Glavine, and Kaz Matsui.
