It already is. Wells and Buhner are very comparable at ages 25-26. What Buhner did in his 27-29 years I'm very comfortable penciling Wells in for, adjusted for Safeco of course. We'll get good OF defense, right handed power, decent OBP, good arm, clubhouse leadership. Call that Buhner, call it Joe Slotbotnik. I call it a good return for Fister. What Fister gave the Tigers list night, Beavan could and did provide us. What Wells added, that's what's been lacking.
I don't expect Wells to take it to the next level that Buhner did. The K rate probably restricts his upside. But if he does...
