Randy Wolf Signs With The Dodgers For $8M/1 Year
The painfully slow, Javascript-polluted Sports Illustrated reports that the Dodgers have indeed signed Randy Wolf to an $8M, one-year deal for 2007, with a $9M option for 2008. All things considered, it's hard to criticize any signing for less than eight figures this offseason, and this may go down as one of the better deals this year. Save for his 2006, when he was recovering from Tommy John surgery, he's been league-average or slightly better. As Matthew pointed out in the comments below, his comps include some pretty good pitchers, or guys who have been pretty good if inconsistent pitchers, including Brad Penny, Doug Davis, Orlando Hernandez, and Jarrod Washburn.
In the second year of his recovery, it's altogether plausible that he could end up being a number two type when plunked into the mediocrity that is the NL West. This is probably the first signing I've seen all offseason that I can endorse, especially with a second year written into it.
Comments:
I'm not trying to shill at all, but SI.com doesn't load slow for me at home or at work. ESPN.com is the one that is a bear for me. Too many elements.
