Hale had this to say about Wright's arm:
"We just wanted him to throw long. He did that all winter and he's been continuing it right now. To be honest, I haven't seen him throw too much at the position [yet] -- just warming up and just throwing really long, which is important early in spring training. I've more been on the field with the 'middle' guys. We just wanted to get his arm stronger and more fit for the season. A lot of times what we do as baseball players is only throw as long as our position makes us. So what I really wanted him to do was just lengthen it out."
Honestly...how hard is it to throw from third base to first base? Especially for someone who has made it to the Major League level.
This isn't a new issue for Wright either. The past couple of seasons I've watched him throw some doozies. Thankfully for Wright, he has a pretty solid first baseman in Ike Davis, to bail him out.
