I’m not so worried that David Wells is fat. He’s always been fat and an effective pitcher, and while many like to think we need players who look like Men’s Health cover models, I’m not so convinced about that for pitchers. I am worried that he’s 42, and 42 seems to be an age where even hitherto-effective players fall off a cliff - Willie Mays comes to mind.
