Wells did a great job this year but I can't really see how you can rely on him for anything better than a #5 as a starter next year.
The guy appears to either give up 4 or more runs per start or has an amazing game. It seems like almost 1/3 of his games (8 of 27 games), Randy has these "I just don't have it" games. In that respect he reminds me of Harden. The difference is that Harden had overpowering stuff, is a strikeout pitcher and has a reputation built on experience.
Wells relies on location and changing speeds which was enough for guys like Maddux but let's face it, Randy Wells is not the second coming of Maddux.
I'll attempt to post Well's Game Log Stats here but I don't know about the formatting.
