VW is a Angel

Yes, you read that correctly, according to Ken Rosenthal of ESPN, Mike Wilner (official reporter for the Jays) and the Drunks at DJF, Vernon Wells and cash is getting packed up and sent to Anaheim in return for Juan Rivera and Mike Napoli. Alex Anthopolous said he was committed to making deals that made sense, and this (to me) proves it.

Napoli brings the versitility of Catching, playing 1B and DH. A highly useful tool for a team without those three positions. More reaction to follow

UPDATE: Here's how I see the positions being filled as of right now: Napoli/Arencibia (C), Napoli/Lind (1B), Hill (2B), E5 (3B) and a combo of Lind, Bautista, Davis, Snider and Rivera in the Outfield. DH? Napoli, and all the outfielders are viable options IMO.

UPDATE: With Manny and Damon, according to many sources, off the market and hitting HR's off the roof in Tampa, it appears that the Jays are done their blockbuster dealing. Having said that, I, along with all other sports reporters in this country, have NO idea what AA has up his sleeves now. Also breaking(ish) is the fact that the Angels are not getting cash back, just the straight up contract of Wells ($86 million left on his contract).
