David Wells  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Wells can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Wells also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Wells is nothing special in the field. Wells is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Wells has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Wells as a pinch-runner on occasion.
