Randy Wolf Signs with Los Angeles Dodgers

Rand Wolf, who we had listed as one of the top ten MLB free agents, has agreed to join the Los Angeles Dodgers. His contract calls for him to be paid between $5 million and $8 million depending on incentives.
Wolf had a solid season in 2008, splitting it between the San Diego Padres and the Houston Astros. Combined, Wolf had a 12-12 record and a 4.30 ERA. His 12 wins were the most he’s had since he put up 16 wins in 2003 with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Wolf, who is a California native, can earn the extra $3 million if he pitches at least 200 innings during the 2009 baseball campaign. With the Dodgers, he’s all but guaranteed to garner a spot in the starting rotation.
Now that the Dodgers have addressed their pitching, expect them to turn their attention back to the Manny Ramirez news and rumors that we hear almost every day.
Good signing with Wolf. Now, go and get Looper at a little less that 5M/year, and they’ll have the pitching depth needed to win the West.One can never have too many pitchers, especially when Kuroda’s arm is already not exactly right.
. Another .500 pitcher IF he can stay healthy.
I can make these moves, are the Dodgers hiring?
