I agree completely. I really think Wells is overrated when it comes to MVP status. Surely he's a good bat, and excellent defensively, but at the end of the day, he's an outfielder. They're a dime a dozen. No one position in baseball can win games alone...except for starting pitching. I'm really hoping they deal Wells for a solid starting pitcher. This is a necessity. Hopefully they offer Wells a $16M contract so he can reject it and they can merrily move on.
