Obviously this is a cheap, stop-gap measure. It’s hard to envision Wells doing anything other than eating some innings for a few weeks (on the Rockies’ dime).

We could do worse. Looking at his season numbers, due to only 15 appearances, they are inflated (at least his ERA) by a complete debacle on July 21 (7 ER allowed in 1/3 IP). His walks are way too high, though (and not just this year), so we shouldn’t expect much here.

Let’s win one with the Kipper!

Neal Musser
Carlos Rosa

I wonder why they went with the wild card and signed Wells? I would have rather seen either Musser or Rosa get the MLB time.
