Yeah, we can keep him there half a season or longer, same with Brett. Give them more confidence, more sustained success, and it doesn't hurt us or them one bit.

Looking forward to some Cates and Wells, especially Wells.

 

For shiggles...anyone want to try an ultimate ceiling comp for Wells? I keep thinking Jake Westbrook, who was a touted sinker/breaking ball prospect, but Wells has a bigger frame and his youth gives him some chance to add some velocity. Derek Lowe with less sinker but more breaking stuff? Doesn't mean anything I just like general pictures in my head to build on.

 

I wonder if Carlos Silva might be a pretty good comp for Wells?

 

Of course, Wells is young, so who knows what he might come up with in future.

Good to see Concepcion get some K's.
