Interesting if True

Draper answers the mail bag with an interesting answer if true:  http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060306&content_id=1337088&vkey=spt2006n ews&fext=.jsp&c_id=sf

The interesting piece of news (anyone can corroborate?) is that he says that if Brad Hennessey wins the #5 spot, Jamey Wright will head to the bullpen for long relief or spot starts.  "Wright seems assured of sticking."

I know that Wright has said this spring that he'll do whatever the team wants, start, long relief, whatever, but I took that for spring time exuberance from a newbie because the bullpen is pretty set with Fassero as long relief/spot starter:  Benitez, Worrell, Kline, Walker, Fassero, plus two of Munter, Accardo, Taschner for 7 in the bullpen, 5 starting rotation, and 13 position players (8 starters, 5 bench).  If Wright gets the long relief position, that probably means Taschner's out since Fassero would become a LOOGY and we don't need 3 of them.
