Somebody is thinking clearly for a change.

I don't really think they had a choice, a concussion is automatic
7 days rest. If they were smart, I think they would shut him down
for the year. Why bother to bring him back?

Well, for one thing, they still have tickets to sell, and in order to
do that, they need to give people _some_ reason to go out to the
ballpark.   If management makes what amounts to a public declaration
that they don't care about the rest of this year's schedule,  then
nobody else is going to care either.

Well, ok, you make a valid point. That said, however, do we care more
about the last few weeks of a season that is already hopeless, or do
we want to see some of the kids come up and show what they can do?

Unfortunately, it's not about what we want.   It's about what the
Wilpons want, and my guess is that they're more interested in selling
tickets than planning for next season.

I would be ok with letting him sit out most of the games (as someone else
pointed out, there is the mental issue of not letting him see pitching this
season)

I think that's an important consideration for all of the injured
players, including Wright.    From a confidence standpoint, I think
that getting back on the field, even if just for a couple of token
appearances, could offset a lot of lingering doubts for them during
the off-season.

Yeah, as soon as it was pointed out to me, I realized it was true.
Wright
does need to come back, if only for a few games, just so that he can
go
into the offseason with some confidence. No arguments from me.


and bringing up kids to play.

That's a nice idea in theory, but outside of Nick Evans, what kids are
left to bring up?    The AAA roster looks like a home for waiver wire
rejects, and the only prospects in the system deserving of any real
attention are much too young to contribute right now.     Tony
Bernazard certainly hasn't left much of a legacy.

No, he really hasn't. A few other people pointed this out, I looked at
a
few of the rosters. There are a few bright spots, like Thole, Evans,
Davis,
maybe Shawn Bowman and Tejada.

Hopefully, the next year or so will be spent getting some talent back,
since they aren't going anywhere in the short term. I really don't
understand
the Sheffield move, unless they are planning on signing him for next
year,
which I wouldn't object to.

Matt

Besides which, Wright would never go for that.
In this case, I think the doctors have the say. So far, at least, I've
been agreeing with them for a change.

Well, yeah.    I wouldn't recommend forcing him to sit if the doctors
agree that he's okay to play, though.
