BALTIMORE -- Steven Wright has perspective that only comes from stagnating in the minor leagues and being told that learning to throw a knuckleball, the gimmickiest of all pitches, might save his career. And he has the humility of being traded for a fading prospect, yo-yoing between Triple-A and the majors, and grabbing a spot in the Boston Red Sox's starting rotation out of spring training only because another pitcher got injured.
So, after lowering his ERA to 2.45 and tossing his third complete game in 10 starts Monday, Wright is able to say what everyone else is thinking.
