Tough to tell if the Randy Wolf bit comes from Hendry or from Miles' head.
I had two thoughts on the suggestion (and I wrote about it here):
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->1.) I know what you’re thinking: why dump Jason Marquis just so that you can replace him with Randy Wolf? Especially when poor Sean Marshall is just crying for a chance to start again. As a starter in 2007, his ERA+ matched Rich Hill’s that year. Hill was expected to be a mid-rotation starter the next year, and Marshall was banished. Shrug.
2.) If it’s not going to be Peavy, I don’t hate it. Yes, Wolf was 12-12 with a 4.30 ERA overall last year, but after arriving in the NL Central, he was pretty darn good: 6-2, 3.57 ERA and a 119 ERA+ (ironically the same as Sean Marshall’s in 2007).<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
