[Docwaukee]

What a day it was!

we traded Beltre and Napoli for Wells. 

 

at least we only took on a little salary.

Look at where Napoli and Beltre are now.

Wells is just fighting to stay in the majors at this point.

Crazy stuff.

Not really. Some totally called Wells would be DFAed before his deal was complete.

Marlins to the rescue!  

 

Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports that the Marlins are interested in free agent outfielder Vernon Wells.

Wells is one of the names the Marlins are considering as they attempt to secure a right-handed bench bat. The 35-year-old was released by the Yankees earlier this month after he hit just .233/.282/.349 with 11 homers over 130 games last year. He could be had at the major league minimum, but might have to settle for a minor league offer at this point of his career. Jan 24 - 12:20 AM

Yeah that part isn't surprising to be honest.

But literally everything bad happened in that trade. Beltre has been fantastic and Napoli was an integral part of a World Series winner.

If Wells sticks on a 25 man roster the Halos get roughly $500,000 in salary relief.

Mathis will whip Wells in to shape.

[rc4halos]

Wouldn't it be the Yankees and not the Halos that would get the $500,000 in salary relief?

[Angel Oracle]

It's a dead heat between Amaro and Reagins for ineptitude.

Is Reagins still getting a paycheck from the team?

Apparently Miami is where ex-Angels land when they can't hit anymore (or never could). Jeff Mathis, Chone Figgins and now Vernon Wells.

yup he's a special assistant to the xerox machine

I'm sure he's too blessed to stress about whether his money from the Marlins is guaranteed.

[Angel Oracle]

went shopping for a beltre and all we got was a VW

Mr. Pop-Up makes even a Yugo look like a BMW.

[Angel Oracle]

Just retire and go away.

You haven't hit since 2010.

[CaliAngel]

"...might have to settle for a minor league offer at this point of his career."

 

If Vernon can't even manage to be picked up by a Major League Team because of how much he sucks, and his only option left is to settle for a minor league offer just to continue getting his million dollar checks, the teams shouldn't be required to continue to pay him like a Major Leaguer.

 

Vernon Wells you are freakin' pathetic.

[Hollyw00d]

Leave Vernon alone!!!!

*cries hysterically*

[Hollyw00d]

he hit the left field wall pretty good in '12

[Tavon Brown]

Wells is my hero.  He is the reason I practice at least an hour a day with my son.

You're going to be the one crying in your beer when the Baseball Hall of Fame opens their long awaited Legends of Infield Popups section, and all of us cash in our mega-collections of Wells memorabilia for big bucks.

It just occurred to me that people presumably bought Angels' Vernon Wells jerseys and I don't whether to be happy or sad.

I suppose it's better than sitting on a Jeff Mathis jersey.

I have a number 5 jersey that has been wasting away in my closet for two years. It will become useful this year -- either wearing to a game or being transferred to rag duty.

Does it say Albert Pujols on the back?

Just block out the "Mathis" and replace with "Downing".

All is good.

Do it with masking tape. That will complete the look.
