"After 14 years in the Toronto Blue Jays' organization, Vernon Wells headed west from his Texas home for spring training rather than east to Florida. At camp with the rest of the Angels' position players who reported on Friday, Wells said it was like "my first day of school" and he went around the room to introduce himself to players in his new clubhouse.

The lesson plan for Wells in his first spring with the Angels will involve learning a new position. The Angels envision an outfield with Peter Bourjos in center field and two Gold Glove-winning centerfielders in the corners - Torii Hunter in right and Wells in left, a position he has only played for a few innings in the All-Star Game."
