    I gave him 3 years without bitching about him or the pick. Cant do it anymore. Someone should be fired for picking him. He is the kind of pitcher the Royals take which was also the reason they were cellar dwellers for 20 years.

    That seems pretty crazy given he has a grand total of 16.2 innings pitched in the majors. Also, he was drafted two years ago, not 3.

    Man some of you guys just refuse to let any development take place at all.

    He was drafted June of 2017. Its July 2019. 3 years. I would laugh if I wasnt so pissed off that your telling me 3 years of development isnt enough for a pitcher who when drafted was all about his low floor and how quick he could be a quality starter in the majors. Supposedly has 2 plus breaking balls and cant even crack the roster as a reliever. Fatolo Colon is a better pitcher at 60 throwing 78 mph meatballs than Wright is now. Theres only 1 other Braves draft pick I hate this much and everyone kept telling me you gotta wait for the development. That prospect washed out at AA. His name was Cody "whiff' Johnson.

    I can't believe I'm about to have a debate about how long 3 years is. Yes, he was drafted in June of 2017. Since then, 25 months have passed. There are 12 months in a year. So unless you're rounding up from 1 month, he was drafted two years ago.

    This board is about to transcend into another universe of dumb. This trade deadline is turning everybody into idiots. Make a trade already AA.

    So you're really going to count 2017 as a whole year when he pitched all of 16.3 innings?

    I'm on your side here, but just as an FYI, adding in his 2018 he's pitched 22.2 innings in the majors... still mind numbingly stupid to give up on a guy based on that.

    I think he's saying he's had 3 years of pitching in the system and he's counting the year he was drafted as one of those year which is ridiculously stupid considering he only pitched 16.3 innings.

    He pitched very good in 2018 with a 3.70 ERA/3.34 FIP/3.46 xFIP in AA
    2.51 ERA/3.23 FIP/ 3.33 xFIP in AAA (and a walk rate of 2.51 per 9)

    Sure he's struggled a bit in 2019, but that's the worst prospect you've ever seen come up in 30 years dude? You're an idiot and a drama queen.

    Ahhh, he was saying 3 seasons, not years. Even then he's still wrong. Half year in 2017, full year in 2018, and a half year this year lol.

    I honestly thought I was about to get into a heated debate about how long 3 years is haha.

    Whatever. Counting the days till we DFA Wright in 2021 and trade him to the Royals for pennies on the dollar for what we could have got for him now.


    We are going to be a bottom 10 farm system after out big 3 graduate and its specifically going to be because we keep throwing picks away on these college buns. Carter Stewart will be a competent MLB SP before Wright is.



    And to get slightly back on topic I actually liked Stroman coming out of college. Pretty sure I wanted Walker Bueler the year we drafted Anderson. So I dont disqualify players just for going to college. Wrights profile just screamed bust.

    "Whatever" he says... so you can't actually produce legit numbers, you are just crying about a rookie based on his first 4 career MLB starts. You're probably right, I certainly can't think of a single big time prospect who has struggled with their first MLB action.

    I've been saying that Pache is a bust ever since he had that bad 4 game stretch back in 2017. He had a hitless 3 game stretch this year which confirmed my suspicions.
