I was all over the Wells signing at the time, but I was hoping he'd prove me wrong. So far, he's done nothing of the sort.
On the other hand, one of the things I hated about his contract was the opt-out clause. If he doesn't show that signing him to a whopping contract immediately following a career year was a stroke of genius, then he'll have no reason to opt out, so I guess I shouldn't have worried about it. We might still be able to look forward to paying him $20-million+ in a couple of years. Awesome.
