Why? Just a hunch?Quote:
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."
Cubs? Reds? Tomato, tomahto. At least the Cubs have a couple of MLB pitchers.
Couple of things...Quote:

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...
Well, you're probably crazy, but we're going to have to watch him pitch so it's fine with me if he turns out to be decent. Reds pitching is just something where we're conditioned to expect the worst.Quote:
