Kip is just a stupid nameWhite Sox signed RHP Kip Wells to a minor league contract.
Wells hasn't appeared in the majors since 2009, pitching in the Independent Leagues in 2010 and only in winter ball last year, but he reportedly was throwing 93-94 mph in a recent workout. Slated to turn 35 later this month and the owner of a career 4.71 ERA and 1.51 WHIP, he's merely organizational depth.
