I don't know Vernon personally, but I gotta think his morale as an Angel is terrible. The majority of fans don't like him and don't want him on this team, and he must know it.

He must be nervous when he steps up to the plate in home games, thinking about how loudly he'll be booed or how few cheers he'll receive.

He's not "too blessed to be stressed." I think he actually loves playing baseball. Unfortunately, he's just not very good at it anymore. Or in an Angel uniform at least. It must kill him inside that he hasn't been able to contribute. That's my take.

Anyway, if Wells is in the lineup tonight against a righty in Parker, I'm going to flip.
