As the Dodgers look forward towards the NLDS in a few weeks, there's little doubt about which pitcher will start Game 1: Randy Wolf. When the Dodgers signed Wolf last offseason, they envisioned Wolf becoming a solid backend of the rotation starting pitcher, who could throw some quality innings and take some of the pressure of the Dodgers' young pitchers. But as we've seen this season, Wolf has been much more than that for the Dodgers. How will Wolf's stellar 2009 campaign help him on the free agent market? Let's have a look:The Case for Randy Wolf-Amazing 2009I knew that Randy Wolf was having a very good 2009 season, but I had no idea just how good he was pitching this season until I looked at the numbers. Check it out:6th in WHIP: 1.08414th in ERA: 3.221st in BABIP: .2562nd in quality starts: 247th in quality start %: 73%11 wins (but Wolf should have closer to 17-18 if he could get some run support!)The Case against Randy Wolf-National League WestIf you look at ...

Love Connection(s)

Looking at this picture of Matt Kemp signing autographs before yesterday's game at PETCO Park, I can practically hear Barry White crooning in the background. Look carefully and you can see three women devouring Kemp with their eyes — not that Matty is exactly discouraging the attention. Apparently a smile and eye contact can work wonders.

Free Agent Adjustments: Doug Davis

Via Jorge Says No  |  September 30, 2009
