Jamey Wright has the whitest-named family ever.

Jamey Wright isn't good
That hasn’t stopped three teams from signing him at least twice.
Chris Seddon, David Pauley, Jamey Wright, and Brian Sweeney are all on a major league roster.
The same major league roster.

But know I do.
Thanks Jeff. Theff.

I will be upset if Wright's innings played:days on roster ratio is higher than Langerhans'

I keep hoping for some jetsam but I'm always disappointed

There's no jetsam because that comes from a ship that has intentionally sunk itself
We had a chance with the Expos, but no dice.
14. Wright has had just two winning seasons in 15 years
4-3 and 8-7. Not that W-L says a lot about pitchers, but it does say something about the teams that think he can pitch.
Cue jokes about it being the Wright move for the Mariner's to get rid of Cordero and the Wright time to buy.
Or some shit like that

We are now officially playing for next year and we sign Jamey Wright?
This does not paint a rosy picture of what next year is going to look like. Losing Sean White and Chad Cordero is good. Getting a look at Chris Seddon is better but not exciting. Having a bullpen that Jamey Wright is a supposed improvement to is just depressing.
Just because we are playing for next year doesn't mean we don't have to field a team this year.
If we can get better this year at absolutely no cost, why not? I’m not sure Jamey Wright over Chad Cordero is much of an improvement but Chad Cordero is terrible so why not see if Wright can give us some okay innings and win us some games? It hurts no one…except Chad Cordero.

We are playing for next year, but meanwhile, the 2010 season drags on. We need people to pitch.
That’s why Tacoma’s churning through every single player who pitched or almost pitched in the majors over the past 7 years, and the big club’s doing the same thing. Every once in a while, you get a Brendan Donnelly or at least a Brian Sweeney, but more often than not, you get a bunch of Corderos, Colomes and Olsons.
There’s no problem in cycling through journeymen/indie-league/MiLB guys for the 12th spot on the staff in 2010, and it doesn’t prevent the team from focusing on 2011. On the contrary, it signifies that they understand that the back of the ‘pen isn’t good enough for 2011; that Cordero wasn’t magically an all-star anymore, and whatever Adair taught Colome didn’t make Colome a great pitcher all of the sudden.
Yeah, I get all that.
I still find it depressing that Jamey Wright might be an improvement for the Mariner/s bullpen. Why did they get themselves into a situation where this is true? How can this not be depressing?
Well, first there was the Pilots
A car dealer named Bud Selig bought the team and moved them to Milwaukee after just one year. Then Seattle sued the American League, got another team, yada yada now we’re here.

Relievers are by and large failed starters.
You should probably not be surprised when they suck, no matter how much they were expected to do well.
...and now I'm here
I agree, we should have signed John Parrish and Rick White

Dan Meyer and Nelson Figueroa were both DFA'd.
Quick! Fungible relievers! They’re everywhere! Grab them all!

Another one...
A couple of seasons ago, Rangers pitching coach Mark Connor said Wright’s stuff was electric, so his nickname at Lone Star Ball became “the electrician.” He was actually decent the first half of that season but the Rangers rode that horse until it fell down.

And Jamey Wright’s history of wild pitching……
