Injury Report
Wrist - Hoping to be ready for spring training
(Updated - 11/11/09)
Fantasy Analysis
Wells should be ready for spring training following an subpar season that might have been due to his ailing wrist. In 2009 he produced just a .711 OPS. He goes from having an OPS over .800 one year to barely over .700 the next -- a pattern that has existed for six years now. You have no idea what to expect to expect from him. He doesn't strike out much for a power hitter -- well, when he qualifies as a power hitter -- but his low walk rate means he could hit anywhere from .260 to .300. His homers aren't any more consistent, ranging from the 33 he hit in 2003 to the 15 he hit last year. Wells is a complete wild card at age 31, meaning you'd need serious guts to invest more than a middle-round pick in him. Then again, if he returns to his .300-hitting, 30-homer ways -- something he could have easily done in 2008 if injuries hadn't shortened his season -- you might end up with the steal of the draft.
