As rumored, the San Diego Padres have acquired pitcher David Wells from the Boston Red Sox for minor league catcher George Kottaras. "I think we got one of the biggest big-game pitchers there is in the game," general manager Kevin Towers told the Associated Press. "We're getting him at a hot time. His last four starts have been exceptional. This guy thrives this time of year, in September games, in pennant races... I'm really hoping David's going to be a difference-maker in this division."

So, will David Wells be a difference maker for the San Diego Padres?

Nope. I don't think he will be able to do much for the Padres since the Dodgers have extended their lead a decent amount of games. Unless the feel like contending for the NL Wild Card, I think that their hopes are done in the NL West Division.
