Vernon Wells on the trading block?

Featured Replies

Probably because he doesn't have protection in the lineup. I would take a good look at him. Anyone know his contract situation?

Wells has a 5-year, $14.7 million contract (2003-2007)...

 

$0.85 million signing bonus

2003: $0.35 million

2004: $0.70 million

2005: $2.90 million

2006: $4.30 million

2007: $5.60 million

 

So whatever team traded for him would be taking on $12 million over 2.5 years.

Jermaine Dye for Vernon Wells.

 

Ok, so Riccardi wouldn't do that, but I would. :D

I would definately do Dye for Wells.

He's not do that bad 2.21 8 21. Having him on my fantasy team , I know I expected better. I think we should take a serious look at him while he's value is low.

Wells would definitely be nice, he's a very good fielder with some pop. I'm not surprised he isn't hitting that well now, the offense in Toronto is pretty iffy. If we could get him I'd happily dump one of our struggling players and throw in a decent to good prospect. Worst case scenario you get a better fielding Dye who's younger and costs about the same, best case you get a middle of the order hitter.

Dye, Baj and Tracey might get him.

Would you deal Aaron Rowand for Vernon Wells?

I'd take vernon over Aaron. Vernon had a slow start last year. He had an awful April and then hammered the ball in May. THis year, he has hit 60 points better in May. It's sort of ti-for-tat though to trade the two

No, not because I think Aaron is better, but because I think Aaron better tipifies this team. Hard working, will do anything, throw his body around. Not that Vernon Wells doesn't do those things, I just wouldn't trade Rowand for Wells. Now, if it was Dye for Wells....

If there is the slightest chance to get Vernon Wells KW needs to jump all over this.....

I'd be the happiest man alive if thats all it took. I'd be willing to give up Sweeney if it was necessary.
