As you can see above, Jamey Wright was an early 1st round draft pick for the Rockies. In fact, he was the second first round pick ever behind John Burke, who had a short career for the Rockies due mainly to his lost ability to throw strikes. Wright was traded in 1999 to the Brewers as part of a multi-player deal and then bounced around the league until he signed back with the Rockies late in the 2004 season.
There has never been one scout or player personal director that has questioned Wrights' stuff on the mound. He, at times, can look as good as anyone pitching. However, for some reason Jamey tends to fall apart for one inning in almost all his starts. This in-game inconsistency has hampered a career that has 'Star' written all over it. He has been with good pitching coaches that have tried numerous remedies, but the same ole bug bites him in the ass every time. Two, three, four innings of excellent pitching followed by 3 or 4 or 5 run's in one inning and poof, the game is lost and Wright is in the showers scratching his head wondering what just happened.
Wright has been given every chance once again to show some consistency with 26 starts in 2005 but has failed to keep his spot in the rotation. There has been no bigger supporter of Wright than Rox Head. This writer believes he is the kind of inexpensive, innings eater the Rockies need on their staff in order to break through to the next level.
Currently, Jamey will be pitching out of the pen for the rest of the 2005 season. This writer suspects some organization will offer him a shot at a spot in their rotation and Wright will probably take the offer and move on in 2006.
