Why? Just a hunch?And I think Dave Williams (who, by the way, has pitched 334 ML innings) has a chance to be a very good pitcher. You all may think I'm crazy but I really think the guy can be very good for us.

The Reds took a monumentally inept squad and sat on their hands. To quote Bob Boone: "That's some special work."

Couple of things...Originally Posted by Johnny Footstool
1. Remember what LaRussa said? Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is especially high on Williams, calling him one of the NL's best left-handed starters last season...
2. He's finally healthy (shoulder surgery in 2002). And I think he's just finding his game. He's 27, moving into his prime and has some good ML experience now.
3. Even if he repeats his 4.41 ERA from last year...with the runs the Reds should score for him...he could win some games.
4. And, yes, he is better than Milton
Call me crazy...but let's check back 6 months from now...
