David Wells is on the DL

[MaineDem]

Francona just announced it on the pregame show.

I still withhold comment on Wells. I'm not convinced.

1. David Wells is 400 yrs old

It's not unexpected...

[Magrittes Pipe]

2. And 400 pounds.

[MaineDem]

4. I was going to say that

:evilgrin:

You beat me to it.

3. The entire Philadelphia Franchise SHOULD be on the DL

and I'm a died in the wool Phil's Fan!:woohoo:

5. On the NESN pre-game show, they said he's on the 15 day DL, but...

that he could be out for 4 to 6 weeks.

They just brought Lenny DiNardo up from Pawtucket, we'll have to see how they eventually decide to fill out the 5-man rotation. Right now they're listing Halama as the fifth starter on their depth roster.

6. Wade Miller is rehabbing

He was due to start up here in Portland over the weekend but the games were rained out. Now he's scheduled to start with the PawSox this week.

8. In the pre-season Francona seemed very hot on Halama, ...

saying that he (Halama) could fill various roles, from starter, to middle relief, to closer, but I don't think he's quite met expectations so far. He may get a chance to prove himself if Miller stays out through the next rotation, which it looks like he will.

7. Saw that...I wonder what Theo was thinking...

...I mean, the guy's not in great shape. Even if he pitches well when he's healthy, I don't think we'll get anything close to a full season out of him.

9. he's always been in bad shape

but has been a good pitcher for a long time.

[joeybee12]

10. Yeah, but now he's over 40 and in bad shape...

...the old body just doesn't rebound as easily. Believe me, I know!

[DaveinMD]

11. that's true

I'll never forgive him for not taking the mound in game 5 of the 2003 world series.

[joeybee12]

12. Not looking good for my Red Sox with him and Schilling so off...

...could take a while before they get it together this year.

[sniffa]

13. how Long does gout Last?

[FlyByNight]

14. I suppose it was...

only a matter of time. And Schill's on the shelf too...
