Wells Losing Control?
I'm wondering if we're starting to see the end of David Wells career. He walked four batters in today 5-3 loss to the Braves. That gives Wells eleven walks in 37 innings; last season he walked 12 in 75 1/3 innings. While his walk rate this year is still good, David depends on an extremely low walk rate to make up for his extremely low K rate. If his walk rate is edging up, that's not a good sign.
This was the first time he walked at least four in a game since July 25, 2003. In his career, Wells appeared in 637 games, and this is only the 24th time he's waked four or more.
