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.

I totally agree, I think your a little hard on JP, but Wells is a very good CF, but not deserving of the 6th best contract in MLB history. The only thing worse than losing a gold glover is to pay one too much then they find themselves comfortable with their new massive deal.
If they pay him this money and he falls off, the Jays are dead for 4 years.
