That's some big news.

He starting tonight?
Crazy we got this guy at 5
Holy fast.
When I scanned the title my heart skipped a beat. For a split second, I thought that he had been traded.

not really, there were generally five agreed upon elite prospects, one of them was going to fall to 5 and Wright happened to be more expensive.Originally Posted by thethe
I would have been very happy to get any of Lewis, Green, Gore or McKay at #5.
Picking #6 would have been a kick to gut.

Florida doesn't have a starter listed for tonight, and it's been 5 days since Kyle pitched . . .
Sure seems like its a strong possibility he's pitching tonight.
Agreed. If Wright wasn't available, I was on the Beck train... looking like a good deal not to have him now. He's struggling terribly in rookie ball. Another note, Jo Adell is absolutely tearing it up.
Yes he is. It's the same level as the GCL, so I don't know how much it means, but Adell is killing it.
Eh, I figured he'd head straight to Mississippi next year, so this isn't weird.
Dennis Lewallyn seems to be the finishing school pitching coach, so this makes sense. They may want him to start in AA next year
Kyle Wright is going to pitch tonight for the fire frogs. I will love to go to the game but i want to watch Albies too damn it.
What's his innings limit?
SEC is probably considered high A level or better depending on the team, right?
I would think the plan is for him to be 1 year in the minors next year and then on the team some time in 2019. He's what, 21? He's probably our oldest top tier pitching prospect. He's been in the SEC. 2019 he's 22 going on 23. He's a pitcher so let's get going before the arm goes.
Heck, if he's half as polished as some of the scouts said he might be in the majors next year. I think he's older than Allard/Soroka/Gohara. Not sure his innings numbers compared to those guys. And not sure if they'll count college as superior to what Allard and Soroka have done.
It's surprising because Coppy inferred he'd end the year at Rome.
I do not understand the point of drafting college players in the first round if you aren't prepared to move them quickly past the bottom levels.
I do t have an issue with aggressive promotions withing the minors when the player is handling things.
If he's better than the competition and not struggling what's the point of keeping him down?
Just need to be sure the performance is both stable and not lucky.
Wright hitting 96-97 in the 1st.

Yeah but he didn't strike anyone out... send him back down
Obviously can't handle the sons of former major leaguers.
