Wright is nothing serious, but has a nice upside in this bullpen. Out of necessity, Wright was used in short-inning situations, but is best suited to long relief. I'm not sure if this guy is going to make the team, but it sure won't hurt to have him compete. He's always walked too many batters, but his live arm has always been tantalizing. The curiosity with Wright is that he truly has one of the better curveballs in the game. His fastball has a lot of movement, usually tailing away and sinking. His offspeed stuff does the same. He uses a cutter against lefties, but it tends to hang a bit.
It's another good move for the Indians, who likely will grab a couple of more bargains off the bin before it's all said and done.
