RealGM

I personally was rather surprised but definately pleased that we re-signed Vernon in the off-season, even though it cost us a pretty penny. My question is this- What kind of numbers do you think him putting up this year represent the minimum output you would expect from someone being payed on his scale? It doesn't necessarily have to include only numbers, eg Gold Glove.

I personally want to see him steal more bases (20+). All in all, just carry the team on his back to the postseason, take responsibility for everything good or bad like a leader should, and be a perennial MVP candidate. I'm not too hard to please

maybe an increase in HR and SB and more RBI or just makie it a little bit of everything? I dont think im asking too much for the 126 million hes getting

Other than that he should keep doing what hes doing because hes been solid so far and hasnt let us down yet.

I just want him to be consistent and play solid CF. Other than that maybe around 35 HR ad 115 RBIs like last season. I agree with the other posters that he should steal more bases. Maybe 25 SBs this season. He had like what 10-15 last season so maybe if he can boost those numbers up that would be nice. Other than that if Wells can stay consistent and hit over .300 most of the season and maybe nab another silver slugger I'll be happy. I know it's alot to ask but hey you asked what numbers I'd like to see him produce this season to earn that contract.

Well I would like him to win his 4th Golden Glove.
I think offensively 30+ hr, 30 sb, and 110+ RBI on .313 hitting would be nice.

Some of the guys on the team are calling him an MVP candidate. Why shouldn't we be expecting MVP type numbers.

Woohoo! I have moved up in the world! Assistant GM!

So when we become RealGMs we get paid to post right?

You get rewarded pretty handsomly once you become a mod


But seriously... I wouldn't expect too many stolen bases from him... maybe in the low 10's... I know he used to be a 5-tool player, but nowadays, he's a bit more heftier than he was, and I'd seriously doubt we would see a 20+ SB season from him now...

I want him to hit for a good OBP more than anything, we have bats to drive him in. Something like .390/.400

Lead the team to the playoffs and I'm satisfied

Sadly enough, he is going to have to get better in order to earn his new contract. Even matching last year's numbers for the duration won't be enough.

Somebody mentioned his OBP and I think that's the biggest key as well. He needs to become more disciplined at the plate and take more walks. If he can find a way to get close to a .400 OBP while maintaining last season's power numbers, he'll move into the MLB elite.

He will never live up to the contract. Its just way too much money.

But for him to do so I would expect .330 AVG/ 45 HR/150 RBI/20 SB with gold glove defense.

Why doubt 20+, he is on track for 162!!

i think all he has to do is re do what he did last season. if he can improve thats great. and he should be clutch.
