Vernon Wells to retire after next season

I agree he is just saying release me like Bell did.  He isn't going to compete.  But amazingly some people on Angels win think this dude is giving 100%.  I would love to have some of what they are smoking.

 

 

Which is why Wells nodded knowingly when asked before Friday's first full-squad workout if he might benefit from coming to camp with a chip on his shoulder, with something to prove.

"I've prepared myself this off-season to compete," Wells said. "With that comes a lot of different thought processes, approaches, and that plays into it a little bit."

 

People wouldn't laugh at your comments as much if you didn't make sh*t up.

Not saying you're wrong, I likely missed it.  Has it been publicly stated the Angels thought he was fat or showed up heavier?  I may have missed it during Troutisfatgate.

 

No.

 

That doesn't stop people from creating their own reality, however.

Well boys this is a really interesting thread.  I've been at Spring Training since Saturday morning.  I'll continue to be here until Wednesday evening.  I've read this entire thread, let me tell you not much is going on yet that's very serious.  I have yet to see Wells on one of the practice fields below the stadium, or any other veteran player of note for that matter unless they are hiding them in some mysterious corner of this joint.  VegasMike must have some special pass to get into the stadium early in the morning where the veterans work out.  Most fans don't get into the stadium earlier than 11:30 or so.  I was at the Saturday and Sunday game behind home plate, great view.  As Wallerr stated he did hustle on the base paths on Saturday.  He appears to me to be trying to hit everything up the middle of the field, as he supposedly worked on in his off season drills.  That's how he singled on Saturday, up the middle, and off the shortstop's diving attempt. 

 

So far this is just a rookie fest, and some sloppy rookie play.  The first two innings on Sunday took almost an hour to play, and the wind chill wasn't pleasant.  Most impressive to me is the play of Conger, and I've enjoyed watching Cowart (he looks pretty professional and unflappable to me, but at times a little awkward in the field).  In many ways Spring Training in February is silly, it is just way too early, and all it takes is a little slip and you loose a veteran starter for a few months - see Granderson's story.

 

I don't know how vegasmike covers this place so thoroughly, he must walk a lot faster than I do.  I wish I could figure out how to post photos on this site, I have some great ones of Blantana chatting and hanging out at the corner of the main practice field with fans and an older coach I didn't know.  He must really work over his goatee, makes him look like Abraham Lincoln without a beard. 

 

I wouldn't and couldn't gain any impressions worth a hoot so far about how players are performing, this would be silly as far as I am concerned.  I should see Hamilton tomorrow at the game, I understand he is starting.  Now I'm going back to see what I can do about photos.  Have a nice night arguing about Wells.

 

lol..thanks for the info. Tom....interesting..VegasMike must have some pretty b*tchin' credentials to provide us with those "inside scoops" of his

People always forget, if players sign a super team friendly contract and then insanely out perform it, they don't get any more money.  Players that totally under perform shouldn't take less.  That is just how the system works.  If you should be pissed at anyone, make it Reagins.  He is the moron that traded for that monstrosity of a contract.

Per the article, "Wells studies the game from both the on-field and business perspectives."

 

Vernon should be obligated to hire Reagins as the GM of his team.

if his business acumen mirrors his on-field performance, he'll be broke by his 40th birthday.

 

If there is any justice in the world...
