I have a pre-season Fenway team that's a bit of a mess, lacking RH power. I picked up Jones on waivers as the only real option that covered my needs. Now I see that Wells is available, and I'm wondering if it makes sense to drop Jones for Wells and to use the $ elsewhere. All other things being equal, do you think that Jones is worth a million-plus more than Wells. Is Jones that much superior on the power side? I could use the money to upgrade my setup guys (Embree is my top LH option right now, though I do have Madson) or to upgrade from Guzman at SS, or Gerut to Lawton at LH DH....

Since you're probably going to see more RH's, I'd stick with Jones.

Jones has the better arm and doesn't get hurt for more than 3 games.

Wells "could" hit for a better average, but can go down for 15 games.
