Padres Sign Kip Wells, Anthony Reyes

By Mike Axisa | May 8, 2012 at 7:02pm CDT

The Padres have signed right-handers Kip Wells and Anthony Reyes to minor league contracts, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com and MLB.com's Corey Brock (Twitter links). The moves will replenish the club's Triple-A depth following injuries to Tim Stauffer, Dustin Moseley, and Cory Luebke.

Wells, 35, signed with the White Sox last month but was released just ten days later. The Burton Rocks LTD client hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2009 and owns 4.71 ERA in over 1,300 innings. Reports from earlier this spring indicate that his fastball is still running as high as 93 mph.

Reyes, 30, did not play at all last season. He's pitched to a 5.12 ERA in 293 1/3 career innings, but like Wells he hasn't been in the show since 2009. Reyes is perhaps best known for his eight-inning, two-run performance in Game One of the 2006 World Series for the Cardinals.

    All’s Wells that ends well, and Petco will help him

    Reyes could be a huge.  Petco is probably the best place for Reyes to give his career another chance. I’m pulling for the guy…his stuff is just absolutely filthy.

    Wow, two names I’ve long forgotten about. I feel like The Padres have a chance to make Kip Wells a good relief pitcher. I’ve never thought Anthony Reyes was any good though. The Padres seem to keep on turning crappy pitchers into relief studs. We’ll see if it happens again.

    Maybe the Padres felt bad about the Khalil Greene deal?

      I don’t think the Khalil Greene deal even begins to make up for the Jim Edmonds deal.

    If Jeff Suppan can throw 5 shutout innings in a spot start at PETCO, anybody can.

       Try 10 innings of 1-run ball
