Kip Wells Promoted

He'll be the long man from the bullpen.

He'll have plenty of chances to eat innings.

Re: Kip Wells Promoted

Wells was supposed to start in Louisville tonight.

I'm guessing Maloney will start on short rest.

He couldn't even stick with the Nationals.

Re: Kip Wells Promoted

Kip Wells is the very definition of "journeyman pitcher". The guy has had two good years- as a starter in 2002 and 2003 with Pittsburgh. Every other year he has been below average.

I'd laugh if I didn't wasn't so worried that he's our number three starter next year if Harang and Arroyo are successfully dealt.

Yes, but it is aged and experienced "crap".

Then again solutions that actually worked would have been nice.

Re: Kip Wells Promoted

For the first time since being with the Reds in 2009, Kip Wells is up in the Majors. He started for the Padres on Tuesday and picked up the loss. It looks like he'll pitch against the Rockies on Sunday. He has just been dreadful since 2005, so I wonder what it is that teams see in him. His numbers in AAA this year were probably even worse than you'd expect.

You were expecting better than 4.7 bb/ 9 and 3.8 k/9?
