RANDY WELLS RUMORS & GOSSIP

The Children Are The Future-Cubs Minor League Update Sponsored by Acapulco Taco Pie

Iowa Another day another Anthony Rizzo HR. He decided to pair his 13th shot of the year with a triple and kept his average at .359. Brett Jackson on the other hand is really scuffling right now as he slipped down to .226 after another 0-4 day. Randy Wells got shelled and has a 7 + [...]

Zephyrs' Montz Drills Wells Deep

There was a big, bad moon rising tonight over Principal Park about the time New Orleans' Luke Montz boomed a Randy Wells s(t)inker through the teeth of the brisk zephyr blowing in off the Des Moines River to break a 1-1 tie and launch the visitors to a 7-3 series-evening win. Wells actually lowered his Iowa ERA to 8.38 while allowing three runs in his rather ordinary five inning...

Randy Wells' Monty Python act.

Oh Randy Wells.You can't do this any more, brother... Gordon Whittenmyer tweeted, "Wells takes a no-hitter into fourth inning of what could be his last start. Dempster (quad) back Thurs."And then the next tweet says, "...Never mind."What happened?Wells was sailing along, and then suddenly in the 4th he gave up a double to Hunter Pence, a walk to Thome, a groundout...

Chicago Cubs Recall Randy Wells To Replace Ryan Dempster

For the Chicago Cubs, the not-surprising-at-all injury news of sending Kerry Wood to the disabled list was followed by much more depressing Ryan Dempster-to-the-DL news. Dempster has been sent to the disabled list with a quad injury, after a very good start to the season. After a poor 2011 campaign, Dempster started off hot in his first three starts of 2012, allowing just three earned...

The Children Our The Future-Minor League Watch Sponsored by InBev

Iowa Rockin' Randy Wells went 6 IP and gave up 4 ER. He also stuck out 5 and walked nobody. Guys, I don't know how to say this but Josh Vitters has more walks than strikeouts. Enjoy this moment while it lasts. Personal favorite Adrian Cardenas hit his first homer of the year as well.  [...]

Chicago Cubs make roster cuts; including Randy Wells

The Chicago Cubs cut nine players today and sent them to minor league camp, reducing the Cactus League roster from 40 to 31. Cuts included Scott Maine, Travis Wood, Randy Wells, outfielder Dave Sappelt and catcher Welington Castillo, who have been optioned to Triple-A Iowa. Four non-roster invitees have been assigned to minor league camp: right-handed pitcher Blake Parker; infielders...

Cubs send Randy Wells to minors

Right-hander Randy Wells was among nine players sent to the minors Thursday by the Chicago Cubs. Wells, a 12-game winner in 2009, was 7-6 with a 4.99 ERA last season when he was slowed by an early injury to his forearm. His demotion means Jeff Samardzija (suh-MAR'-juh) and Chris Volstad have made the starting rotation along with Ryan Dempster, Matt Garza and Paul Maholm. Also...

Wells and Wood optioned to minors, Clevenger over Castillo

I'd much rather have seen Randy Wells in the Chicago Cubs rotation, but rather than bullpenning him the Cubs have at least done the only other smart thing possible by optioning him to the minors. Good call on that even if it's the result of other poor decisions. I've been saying for awhile that Steve Clevenger is the better catcher and better option to back-up Geovany...

Projecting the 2012 Cubs – Randy Wells

Somehow Jeff Samardzija has more upside than Randy Wells, despite the fact that Wells posted back to back 3 WAR seasons in 2009-2010 before last year's injury rattled season. Wells hit the DL the same day as Andrew Cashner last April, and when he came back in June he clearly wasn't the same pitcher. The Cubs had great need of him though, as they had been piling up outings...

Randy Wells has his head in the game

MESA, Ariz. — The other day, Cubs manager Dale Sveum rattled off a bunch of players he considered reasons the Cubs could compete this year. When he got to the starting rotation, he included Randy Wells. Wells is in? He’s not one of five or six battling for two jobs? No, that didn’t mean anything, Sveum said. “I don’t remember what I said,” he said. “I just didn’t...
