Yeah, with Vernon Wells I think the contract really does cloud how I see him. Really for the first 3-4 years he was very good. But when he got that big contract, and then they didn't move him to left field when his defence started to slip.

With Devon White, he almost benefits from the short tenure because he was such a great defender at the position and was good enough offensively. He also performed in the post season too, the only off series he had was in 92 against the Braves and the entire team hit poorly in that series. But from 91 to 93 he was 6+ WAR with his defence being worthy of the gold glove.

Moseby was also a pretty solid player at the position too. Although I don't remember enough about the pre-85 Jays to know him well enough, and 83-84 are when he was at his most dominant.

The ball park factor makes a difference too. The old ex wasn't as hitter friendly as SkyDome, and the other teams in the Division didn't have little launching pad stadiums either. Fenway and Tiger Stadium were friendly parks for hitters, County Stadium in Milwaukee was somewhat of a hitters park, and Yankee stadium had a short porch in right, but the alleys there were big, Clevelands old park was big, Memorial Stadium in Baltimore wasn't as friendly as Camden Yards is. Plus they were all outdoor parks in the North...which made them brutual in April, May, and late September.
