Vernon Wells DFA

[Hollyw00d]

it is just another chapter in the legacy of the team with the A and a Halo on their logo. It's part of the deal when you sell your soul, and you know it going in.

 

 

 

lol oh brother

[beatlesrule]

He can save so much face by either retiring or signing a contract to promise to donate all that salary to charity.

[Stradling]

I'll still say Arods is going to be the worst ever.

It would appear to be well on the way.

The #Phillies are among the teams to express interest in Vernon Wells, according to @nickcafardo

 

Ruben Amaro Jr. is seriously committed to trolling Phillies fans at this point.

I understand this. Their IPP* is well below the MLB average.

Amaro is in over his head.

That team has a pretty big payroll and is going to be very bad next year. His biggest mistake was not trying to trade everyone away and at least build for the future.

Their situation is not good, and as time goes along they have less and less leverage to fix it.

They had an opportunity to trade Utley, Rollins, Papelbon and Lee and decided to keep them. The rest of the roster is really really bad.

They're just going in an odd direction.

V dub could hit 40 bombs in that stadium tho. With regular playing time

Lol. Some people said the same thing last year when the Yankees traded for him.

I have a friend who is a Phillies fan, and he asked me if there was any positive to them signing Wells.  All I could come up with was that they wouldn't have any competition to sign him.

[yk9001]

The GMJ 50m/5 year boondoggle contract seems almost quaint by today's standards.

[Brandon]

I still look at A-Rod's first contract...which I think Texas is still paying.

 

It's one thing to outbid other teams like we did with Pujols as he had close or similar deals on the table, namely Miami. But the Rangers so egregiously overpaid by leaps and bounds over the next interested teams that it is gross.

They wouldn't have to pay him more than the minimum. But, knowing Amaro, they would.

Yah if you can't hit bombs in that bandbox with the Yankee Advantage on your side it's pretty much time to hang up the cleats.

 

Nobody wants Vernon, he'll be laughing at all the players busting their asses this summer while he's sitting on the couch at his beach house making millions.

[Angel Oracle]

It's hard to believe that just half of a decade back, the Phillies were the dominant NL team with back-to-back WS appearances and one WS title.
 

[nando714]

So Wellsy got passed on by Philly

Bc Philly rather have Bobby Abreu.

Do the Angels a favor and retire Vernon

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Lol. Some people said the same thing last year when the Yankees traded for him. 

 

He hit like the Vernon of old for about two weeks, then he regressed to Angels Vernon.
