Vernon Wells 2.0? (nm)

Posted by musubi Aug 12 '10, 13:13

I don't really have much opinion on him, other than being wary of signing him to anything long term.

Responses:

They're not. Everyone involved (JB, AA, locals) acknowledge...Arb this season. If he does well, trade or big contract next summer. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 13:18 6
- Seems reasonable to me. Maybe he has "figured it out". - musubi Aug 12, 13:21 5
  - Exactly. And if he does well next year and walks... Two First Rounders to the Jays. That has to be worth something too, right? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 13:22 4
    - he's not a lock to be a Type A free agent, is what i'm saying. -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 13:34 2
      - Well, if Marco Scutaro can become a Type A free agent.... - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 13:37
      - With this season, he's most likely a Type B at worst, so still worth a pick. (nm) - musubi Aug 12, 13:36
    - assume a 1st rounder is 3-5 years out. - groiny Aug 12, 13:33

  - the 2 of them are not really all that far apart. - groiny Aug 12, 13:17 3
    - Wells is a butcher in the OF now though, and he doesn't have the position flexibility of Bautista. - musubi Aug 12, 13:20 2
      - We're stuck with Wells at least another two seasons. I figure 2013 is the hand-off year. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 12, 13:23 1
        
        just showshow easy it is to get stuck behind a bad contract. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 12, 13:29
