If I'm the Yanks and Dotel is close, I'd wait for him and then dump Ponson.
If no Dotel, I'd find a different replacement for Ponson.
Unless you figure that Wright could go down at any time and you want a little extra insurance with a guy like Ponson who can also start - except that he's horrible.
It can't be that hard to find another long-relief man. Ponson is horrible, and I hated when we picked him up, but he is playing for almost nothing from the Yankees payroll. Why not give him at least one more chance in a relief role...if Ponson's coming in, it's probably a wash anyways. Once Dotel is up, even if he's not what he used to be, he'd still be better than Ponson. Then, they could move Villone/Proctor into the long-relief role (if necessary, both seem to have good stamina) and put Dotel in as a setup-man or middle-relief.

Yes, another great performance by Wang!
A-Rod totally sucked last night, going 3-for-5 with a run and 2 RBI's. We need to trade him. He totally blows!
Tonight, we get to see whether Cory Lidle really was the trade-buster Cashman said he was...
