Vernon Wells a Possible Fit for Giants?

Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, suggested on Monday that the Angels' Vernon Wells could be an option for the Giants on the waiver wire. The Giants, who just recently lost their star left fielder Melky Cabrera to suspension, could use some new blood in the outfield. 

Wells, 33, has a hefty contract for such little contributions over the past couple of seasons, however. This season, he's hitting just .222/260/.389 with only seven home runs. His MVP caliber years are likely numbered, but practically anything could bolster the Giants in left field at this point. The combination of Gregor Blanco and Justin Christian is one of the few options that the Giants currently have, making a proven veteran is seemingly a better route to take. 

For any deals to at least generate some interest from the Giants' side, the Angels will have to send a massive chunk of money to San Francisco in order to ship Wells out of the "Big A". However, the Angels, who spent hundreds of millions in the offseason, would love to let their struggling veteran loose. Simply, money is not an object for them.
