Wins
OK, so David Wells can't replace Pedro. And Matt Clement, as excited as I am to get him, can't replace Pedro. But can Wells and Clement replace Pedro and Lowe?
Win shares say not quite, suggesting that Clement and Wells combined (last year) were worth about one team win less than Pedro and Lowe combined. We'll see if Wells can match his 2003 production with the Padres, and we'll see how both adjust to the American League. (With Schilling, Bellhorn, Mueller, Renteria, Clement, and Wells, Theo seems to have a National League bias).
But, if they hold to form, we're now -1 in the wins column in pitching, and +2.67 in the shortstop department. To keep that overall number positive, it's time to sign 'Tek.
