Adding to the rotation with this pick. Wright only started nine games in 2000, but his ERA is better than both Joe Mays and Jason Bere, and his WHIP of 1.39 is actually the best among the seven starting pitchers on the staff. His nine starts are nine less I have to throw Mays out there, who is looking more and more like my long reliever this year (remember, he has a phenomenal 2001).I actually mis-understood our restriction rules a little or my staff might look a little different. I was under the assumption the starters, and all players for that matter, were restricted to the number of games they actually played in 2000. Not the case. Some players are limited if a restriction shows up on their card, as is the case with Wright. Others are able to start an unlimited number of games, but injury plays a factor. Their durability rating could come into play at some point during the season. So a guy like Shawn Green, who played in all 162 games in 2000, will not likely be injured, but somebody like I-Rod, who only played in 91 games, could potentially miss a chunk of the season if he's involved in a bizarre play during a game in which an injury could occur. I actually like the idea. Injuries are a part of the game. Just hope it doesn't bit me with Rodriguez since I don't have a backup catcher yet.
