Paul Wilson--Sucking Among Those Who Suck

If you wonder just how bad Paul Wilson has been, check out this Redszone Old Guard Poster on the Paul Wilson numbers. They are Halloween numbers. Absolutely horrendous. I really think he has to be injured, and I suspect a stint on the DL is due. In the meantime, we were counting on his success leading us to a contending position, and he's well below replacement value.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, tonight we dropped a pitcher's duel, wasting a good start from Ramon Ortiz and ensuring that we lose yet another series, and marking a new three game losing streak. Everytime we think we have a chance to climb back to respectability, we just can't get it done.

Its not just Wilson. Check out Kearns, Milton, LaRue, Casey. I read on some Reds blog today that the talent is there, but we can't get over the top. I don't blame Miley and/or DanO explicitly. Things aren't a lot worse than when they got hear. But sooner or later, they have to deliver on the ballfield.
