...with TBS of course.
Tough question, would Wells be a better analyst for TBS or a better pitcher right now in the bigs? Call it a toss-up, where everyone loses.
Charles Barkley has had a pretty nice post playing career working on TNT, maybe TBS thinks they need a Barkley equal in the baseball booth. If that's case, Wells is then a mighty fine choice.
I like John Kruk as a person, when they'll show a clip of him hitting against Randy Johnson in the all star game, or how he sold his number to Mitch Williams for a case of beer, or just listening to him talk about how he played the game. But I don't like listening to him on Baseball Tonight, analyzing the games. I imagine David Wells will be similar on TBS. It'd be great to hear him chirp in about pitching in the World Series, but I don't picture myself wanting to hear him actually analyzing the game.
When Justin Upton is struggling and getting benched, I want to hear Rob Neyer talk about how he needs to get his bats, and even putting him in AAA is better than riding the pine. I don't want to hear Kruk, or maybe soon, David Wells talk about how Eric Byrnes brings a veteran presence and helps the Dbacks chances of winning.
