Randy Wells A Safe Bet?


In today's Chicago Tribune, Dave Van Dyke has a piece about Randy Wells and his conversion from catcher to pitcher. He tells us about the day that Wells had his first bullpen session and his catcher was Jake Fox. Van Dyke then says:

"Both he and Fox are now with the Cubs, although neither is a catcher anymore. But it is safe to say that the career of the 26-year-old Wells looks much brighter than that of Fox."

Considering that Jake Fox had an OPS of 1.389 with 17 home runs and 50 RBI in 40 Triple-A games this season, I'd say that Van Dyke has some high expectations for Randy Wells.
