The Reds, patron saints of reclaiming lost arms, sign Mr. February himself, Paul Wilson. "Paul has the ability to pitch 180 to 200 innings a year,'' [Reds GM Jim] Bowden said. "We felt it was important to add another proven starter to join Ryan Dempster, Jimmy Haynes and Danny Graves in the rotation.''

Say what you will about Wilson, I would hardly cite his durability as an asset. He's another guy who, having proven that (1) he can pitch and (2) he can't hold up for a full season, ought to be in the bullpen. He's basically a poor man's Steve Karsay.
