I am not sure what elements in the game Wells does not have.
He doesn't have the bat in my opinion to carry this team. It is pretty good as far as CFs go, but it isn't amazing. To be a franchise player, you've got to be hitting 40+ homers and be getting on base A LOT more than Wells is.

Not to mention, where is the track record? He doesn't have one regarding his offense. Prior to this season he had 2 pretty average years, and was barely a top 10 CF in MLB.

Wells isn't the face of this team either. Roy Halladay is IMO.
