MLB Trade Rumors reported that the long-awaited comeback by pitcher Kip Wells is underway! I know, I know, who the heck is Kip Wells? Wells is perhaps best remembered (at least in my book) less than successful 2007 campaign with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he went 7-17 in spite of a sparkling 5.70 ERA. If only the offense gave him more run support.
Wells will be pitching with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League of "Professional" Baseball where he will be able to face top-notch competition from the Bridgeport Bluefish, Lancaster Barnstormers and Southern Maryland Blue Crabs.
Ducks manager, Dave LaPoint, who apparently has never heard of Baseball-Reference.com, said, "We are extremely happy to add Kip... to our pitching staff. [He has] proven to be successful at the big league level."
Let's face it, with a name like "Kip," he doesn't have much of a chance. At least he's only getting beat up on the mound these days... presumably...
