And I'm pretty sure A-Rod's ego would not let him agree peacefully to being "demoted" to DH, and Girardi doesn't need problems like that in the clubhouse. Still, it's an interesting thought.

it was just a thought. I have faith that Wright isn't done. Remember, he had major back problems last season. Who really knows how long those problems have been around? I think, if healthy, he'll have a good season. I'm just afraid he's going to get so frustrated with the team that he backs off on how hard he plays so that he doesn't get injured.
