Wells will be heading into his prime age as well when he's eligible for free agency as well, which will also inflate his value for his next contract.
And yes Moon we all know Pujols has beat those standards, but he's more than a franchise player. He's a generational type hitter and there aren't 30 players like him in baseball, he's one of a kind. When it comes time for his next contract, he'll command A-Rod money. Really why are we even talking about Pujols in this thread. Maybe you should make a shrine to Pujols thread to keep yourself happy. I'll even go post in it that he'll likely be on Baseballs all century team in 2099 when they pick the best of the last 100 years.

Pujols was posted because I knew his salary and Beltrans off the top of my head. Sorry I brought him up. I will look at other guys salaries on the internet if it makes you happy.
Wells is a good player. I just don't think he is a guy that I would want to build my team around and spend 18 million on. I think that a team like the Jays would be better off spending that money elsewhere.
I think most teams have guys like that and some have more than one.
