The Diamondbacks have signed Kip Wells to a minor league contract according to Baseball America's Matt Eddy. Wells had been with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League.
The soon-to-be 34-year-old last appeared in the bigs leagues with the Reds in 2009. Cincinnati re-signed him last February, but ended up releasing him before the season started. Wells then hooked on with the Ducks, and posted a 4.00 ERA with 23 strikeouts and 15 walks in 27 innings (five starts) with them. He owns a 4.71 ERA during a Major League career that has spanned parts of 11 seasons.
Championship.
Batting practice.
I’m predicting they would get similar results out of Kip James or Kip Winger.
Kip Wells rising!
Yeah, that about sums up the state of the DBacks.
Whats up with the pirates being in the top stories? kip wells a former pirate, oliver perez a former pirate, releasing fernando nieve and garret atkins, and claiming garrett olsen. Guess its been a slow week. 🙂
Is he still alive?
Will this guy ever just go away???
Kip Wells is like Beetlejuice…… say his name 3 times, and he appears
Kip Wells… HAHAHA
First, WHY?? Second, a 4 ERA with the Ducks makes him worthy of even a minor league contract with a MLB team?? Third, I’d rather they dig out Jim Morris and try him out…I mean, he has accomplished more than Wells has. A movie was made about his life, Dennis Quaid played him. What has Kippy done besides getting overpaid to have a less than mediocre career?!?!
Maybe they can trade him for Ryan Howard with the Phillies paying his contract
This is top news….hurry the hell up, opening day.
