Re: Scott Williamson Coming Back?
I think it would be funny if Williamson pitched with the Reds before Phil Dumatrait or Tyler Pelland ever made it.

Funny or irony?

Re: Scott Williamson Coming Back?
If he's healthy, and can remain so, sure, why not.

Re: Scott Williamson Coming Back?
Meh. It's not like he's going to turn the Reds' season around.

Re: Scott Williamson Coming Back?
I wouldn't mind a minimum deal with a 1M team option, or something along those lines.

Re: Scott Williamson Coming Back?
85 IP since he was traded 4 years ago.
As a Red 1999 - 93.1 2000 - 112 2001 - 74 2002 - 42.1 Since then 85 Innings, I doubt he's coming to Cincinnati. |

Re: Scott Williamson Coming Back?
We all know Willy's arm is held on by duct tape and bubble gum , but he is worth a look , he's still only 31. If by some miracle his arm stays healthy he could still be an effective major league pitcher.

Re: Scott Williamson Coming Back?
What kind of mph has he been able to generate recently? Is his slider still unpredictable? How many wild pitches/passed balls could a combination of Scott Williamson and Javy Valentin generate?

Re: Scott Williamson Coming Back?
No real reason, except to maybe get out of position for the #1 pick in '08.

Re: Scott Williamson Coming Back?
There are two kinds of deals the Reds should make for relievers: Future value and warm bodies to get through the season. They shouldn't confuse the two.
