Great American Comfort
Paul Wilson has re-signed with the Cincinnati Reds.
Wilson signed with the Reds as a free agent after he went 6-12 for Tampa Bay in 2002. He has prospered at Great American Ball Park, where the tall infield grass helps ground-ball pitchers.
That's an understatement where Wilson is concerned. Last season, he had a 3.32 ERA in Cincinnati, 5.77 on the road. The hits get through away from Great American Ballpark. He allowed 7.8 hits per 9 at home in 2004, 11.5 on the road. I wonder if the Reds will once again engineer the rotation to get Wilson most of his starts at home?
