I assume you're talking about his numbers in his first month at AAA. He had a .395 OBP at AA this year. 2. It's not even true. His AVG at Portland is .250, from what I saw.

I can think of a .170 hitting major league catcher I'd love to pawn off for a starting pitcher...and I bet their salaries were comparable...

It actually makes more sense than some of those deals. Maybe their is a genius master plan here we don't see. If we have so many mediocre arms on the staff, then we can have 5 pitchers throw 1-2 innings each every 5th day. How's this for a starting rotation: 1. Harang 2. Arroryo 3. Milton 4. Lohse 5. Wells/Johnson/Franklin Hey, if you’ve recently acquired

The Reds would probably have to give up a prospect for the priviledge of renting Wells for the remainder of the season. I don’t see how Wells helps all that much.

As far as Krivskeys methods, I have no problem dealing the chaft from this organization to eat at the Buffet a little longer, note that word was "chaft" something Reds fans can't hold onto with hope to watch blossom into anything of worth.

To put him on now isn't going to revitalize this team's playoff chances and only starts his clock before you need to. It would probably raise home attendance (especially if he started a game or two at home) at a time when the Bengals are going to be getting the lion's share of the local public attention.

Why, is Denny Neagle not available? It's a good idea if you want somebody to go 4 or 5 innings & give up 5 or 6 runs. Go with young guys who can actually throw. Somebody like Homer Bailey. That's a move that would get fans excited. David Wells? Why, is Denny Neagle not available?
