Wright Over Lidle for Game 4 Start

It was pretty much a foregone conclusion, but the Yankees have officially named Jaret Wright their Game 4 starter over Cory Lidle. The move makes sense. Wright had a great end to the year, while Lidle was on the shelf for a lot of September. Jaret has shown his grit time and again for this team, a trait needed in the postseason. He also has a decent postseason track record. His pitching against the Yankees for Cleveland in 1997 left a bitter taste in the mouths of most Yankees fans. He isn’t automatic, but it’s tough to argue that Jaret should have been benched for Lidle in this spot.
