Nationals DFA Kip Wells, Call On Clippard
MLB.com's Bill Ladson reports that the Nationals designated reliever Kip Wells for assignment to make room for Tyler Clippard. Wells, a 32-year-old righty, has an ERA of 6.49 in just over 26 innings, with 18 strikeouts and as many walks.
It's possible that Clippard will be the Nats' best reliever, as he's dominated Triple A so far this year. He backs up his sparkling 0.92 ERA with 42 strikeouts in 39 innings, and just 20 hits and 15 walks allowed.

Good ol' Kip. He deserves to be in the majors less than Daniel Cabrera did/

Will he be the next closer after MacDougal falters?
Man... the poor Nats are just doomed right now.

Clippard was my fantasy sleeper for this year, I thought he'd start in the terrible rotation.

FINALLY!

I think it's time to call it a day, Kip.

Happy days. The Nats actually went 3 innings and didn't allow a run today, with MacDougall throwing strikes actually in his inning!
Wells must have sealed his fate in his fate in his last appearance vs Boston.. He looked awful...
