Help is on the way
Here's some good news, Kip Wells' comeback is going smoothly and he's scheduled to start throwing on Monday, or earlier if he has his way. He also hopes to be back well before his scheduled return of the All-Star break for a couple reasons, he didn't have a throwing related injury to his arm and his arm was in good shape when he went on the shelf. I know a lot of you don't like Wells, but I really think that a veteran presence not named Victor Santos can only be a good thing for this young pitching staff. Hopefully early reports of a Pirate recovery going well will actually stay true for once.
