Vernon Wells defence

Remember when Vernon Wells used to make the catches on those balls hit in the gap? Ya, not so much anymore. He's lost a step-and-a-half and seems tentative once he hits the warning track. Oh well, only four more years and $90M watching his slow decline. He should be playing RF now with Rios in centre, but his ego probably won't allow it.

The advanced defensive metrics at fangraphs.com has him as one of the worst CFers in the game. And this was after he won the Gold Glove from 2004-06.
