Hensley Will Return, Fill Wells' Void

As FF expected, Clay Hensley will return from AAA Portland and assume David Wells' old spot in the rotation on Thursday. Hopefully this will end the timultuous portion of his 2007 campaign, picking up on his fantastic second half in 2006 in which he compiled a 2.66 ERA. Over his career, Hensley has posted a post-break ERA that is 2.36 runs better than his pre-break numbers. This dichotomy is further strengthened by his recent strong start in Portland, going 6 innings while allowing 2 runs, striking out 6 and walking none.
