I'd agree, to an extent, but from the Padres point of view (and assuming it's bell for wells), they are taking a 31 year old career middle reliever with ZERO saves last year, and turning him into an effective (at least to this point) young major league starter. That's a huge win for them.

Where was Randy Wells last year?
We would be taking a converted catcher with an ERA in the minors of 4+ into a proven bullpen guy with an ERA of 2.51 and a BB/K of 70/209 the last 3 years at the major league level.

You're a liar.
And yes, a back of the rotation pitcher that can pitch in the mid to lower 4s in terms of ERA is very valuable.
