According to the Bats game notes, Kip Wells was signed today, and will play for the bats, taking the spot of Robert Manual.
Edit: Oops, I meant Manual not Burton.

Where is Burton going?
That was my same question,where is Burton going?
Lets see, Manual up (instead of Burton), Wells to LOU (Adding Depth), possible trade comming involving Burton?
Yea, I know, wishful thinking.
I hope not I think Burton is good unless he brings us a shortstop that can hit and field
This is fate. Early this spring my mother-in-law bought a van from the father of Kip Wells. Sometime during that transaction my mother-in-law mentioned that I was a huge baseball fan. Kip's father gave my mother-in-law a baseball card signed by the Kipster to give to me.
This signing by the Reds was inevitable.
Sounds like a Seinfeld episode. I'll have that bass guitar track in my head each and every time the Kipster twirls a gem for us.Originally Posted by texasdave

What the heck is this crap?
Pedro Martinez is out there collecting dust and we go out and sign this guy?
GO REDS!!! :thumbdown
Do you honestly believe Pedro would want to pitch for the Reds? And this isn't even taking into account his supposed asking price.
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
Pedro wants $5mm to pitch for this year. Kip was willing to come on as a minor league free agent. There is a difference of like $4.95mm or something there.
Burton has to stay down a minimum of 10 days unless he would be needed to replace an injured player which was not the case.
8 million dollars certainly isnt a factor lol
Yeah, I read 5 million plus incentives. Here is an incentive. If you don't sign you make nothing, Pedro. Vote for Pedro!!!
I am sure that Pedro's logic is the exact opposite. He might be the most dominating pitcher of his generation.
