Vernon Wells could sit out again on Friday after being benched for the finale of Los Angeles' four-game series with the Rangers on Thursday. Wells entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and struck out in the eighth. "As frustrated as we are, there's nobody in that clubhouse more frustrated than he is," manager Mike Scioscia said. "There's nothing we've been able to uncover. We've talked to Vernon many times. We've incorporated some drills he was used to doing in the past with Toronto. There's really nothing we haven't tried to uncover with Vernon." The Angels should not be surprised Wells is coming nowhere near living up to his absurd salary, but his .200/.231/.365 triple slash is indeed worse than should have been expected when he was acquired from the Blue Jays. Still, the move was bad when Los Angeles made it and is looking even worse now.
