Aging With Dignity?

In case you haven't noticed, the Padres aren't getting much from their two senior citizens in the starting rotation, Greg Maddux and David Wells.
Maddux has looked very ordinary this season, including Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rockies in Colorado. However, Maddux (pictured at left) did work a long -- for him -- seven-inning stint Sunday. No word on whether he'll have to skip a start due to fatigue and overall drowsiness.
What this means is that, with the season nearly a month old, Maddux (1-2) and Wells (0-1) have combined for a grand total of one victory.
Not exactly what general manager Kevin Towers, who answers to the colorful nickname "KT," had in mind when he brought the old fogies in this year. Way to go, KT.
But hey, at least the two old farts are a good influence in the clubhouse.
