Kip Wells had carpal tunnel release surgery. My wife, like a lot of women, developed carpal tunnel during her pregnancy and we're waiting to see if it abates in the months after childbirth. The doc told us the surgery provides immediate relief and solves the problem dramatically. Hopefully she won't need it.
This explains Kip's numbness earlier in the season and I can understand why he would have trouble pitching with that condition. Even if it's only confined to one finger, it's tough to do things like typing with one numb finger.
Littlefield is talking like he has every intention of bringing Kip back. Last night I was thinking about the rotation for 2005 and realized that Oliver Perez, while he is our ace, may not be the guy we want to start the season as our #1 starter. I'd be more comfortable with 2003 Kip as the #1, Ollie as the #2, Fogg as the #3, and then determining the rest of the line in spring training.
