Omar cited that Dave Williams adds some depth to their starting pitching. Omar remarked that Williams was playing for a team that was under .500 and would have better protection with the Mets offense supporting him.
He was also happy to share that he got the Reds to pick up a large part of the salary.
Dang, hopefully not too much. BTW the Reds are 7 games over .500. Omar needs to check his facts. Hopefully, he got the part about the Reds taking some of the salary wrong too.

Maybe he meant they were under .500 when Williams was pitching...

No, I believe that was when they had the best record in MLB, no thanks to him though.

Omar was referring to Williams from 2005. As a .500 pitcher for a team that was under .500. He wanted depth and he got a major league arm in a trade for an arm that wasn't ready yet and priobably won't amount to being a top end of the rotation guy anyway.

The way he pitched in Cincy he'll be lucky if he sees the majors again. Especially in New York, I was very excited when I heard the news that they had sent him down this past weekend
