With Vernon Wells being traded over from the Blue Jays for Mike Napoli and Juan Rivera, the instant reaction follows something like this:
“Why?”
To the average observer, Vernon Wells is just another overpaid outfielder who puts up above-average stats, but nothing worth the mighty contract he received.
The Angels made somewhat of a desperation move after losing out on both Carl Crawford and Adrian Beltre.
Despite the enormous amount they’ll have to pay Wells, he should pan out to be an impact player in the middle of their lineup and in the outfield…right?
