That game is the resumption of a suspended game from May 5th.

Even if you can't mention names can you disclose whether any major league level players are involved as well?

Kip Wells is a shapeshifter.

If you don't have confidence in guys like Ramirez and Lehr to make spot starts, they shouldn't be in the organization IMO. There are younger arms that could easily take their place.

Ramirez and Maloney's spot starts so far this year have been poor. If there's a better option, they are going to take a look.

Ramirez gave up one hit (which was a homer) and a walk while striking out three phillies in his one appearance (2.1 innings) this year. I'd like to see Wells pitch better then that.
