| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2009-12-09 13:00:00 | What are the Brewers doing? making one last run with Prince? (Jack from LA) | They really needed some starters, and while I'm not a big Randy Wolf guy, nine million bucks a year isn't that much money right now. This doesn't close the gap on the Cards; for that, Parra and Bush have to come close to being the guys they're supposed to be. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2009-10-28 14:00:00 | Jay, I assume the Yankees will start Sabathia twice on short rest in order to get him three starts; would the Yankees be wise to start Pettitte once of short rest (games 3+6) in order to get 5 lefty starts in a seven game series? Or is the platoon advantage vs. the Phillies not THAT important? Or do you think the Yankees will through in Gaudin and go with a 4 man rotation? (Nick Stone from New York, NY) | Hey, Nick! I spent a good deal of time trying to figure out the two teams' rotation options on a game-by-game basis. Cutting and pasting from the preview, here's what I came up with:
Game 1: Sabathia (7) v. Lee (9) Game 2: Burnett (6) v. Martinez (12) Game 3: Pettitte (5) v. Hamels (9) Game 4: Sabathia (3) or Gaudin (11) vs. Lee (3), Happ (10), or Blanton (12) Game 5: Burnett (3), Sabathia (4, if Gaudin Game 4), or Gaudin (12) vs. Happ, Blanton or Lee (4) Game 6: Pettitte (3) or Burnett (5, if Sabathia Game 4 and Gaudin Game 5) vs. Martinez (5), Hamels (3), Happ or Blanton Game 7: Sabathia (3, if pitched Game 4) or Pettitte (4, if Sabathia Game 4) vs. Lee (3, if pitched Game 4) or Hamels (4) While the Phillies hit lefties about as well as righties in the regular season, they haven't been all that successful doing so in the postseason, batting at a .194/.322/.444 clip, with a few big hits — Ryan Howard's two-run double off Clayton Kershaw, his homer off Randy Wolf, and Raul Ibanez's homer off George Sherrill - offsetting their woes. My read on Sabathia and Pettitte is that they're better than the Dodger southpaw starters at this point in time, so yes, I do think it makes sense to throw more lefties at them, particularly given that Gaudin doesn't match up well with them at all. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2009-10-28 14:00:00 | Thoughts on Colletti's extension? (David from Sonoma State University, CA) | You know how some players have their best years right as they're about to become free agents? That's what happened with Colletti - he had a fantastic year. No new dumb contracts, great plays towards the end of the winter to get bargains on Randy Wolf, Orlando Hudson and Manny Ramirez (who exercised his player option and will return, according to the tweets I've received today), and smart in-season acquisitions that helped the team reach the NLCS at minimal future cost (though Josh Bell does make me wince a little). Hell, even Juan Pierre made him look good by playing well during Manny's absence.
The Dodgers have now made the postseason in three of Colletti's four years, and while that certainly owes something to his predecessor, Paul DePodesta, and his underlings, Logan White, Kim Ng and DeJon Watson, it's very tough to kick a guy out the door when he's at the helm of a team with that recent track record. Which doesn't mean he doesn't scare the bejesus out of me as a Dodger fan at times, but I guess I'd rather hear him say he's not trading the Dodgers core youngsters for an ace (as he did last week) than floating the idea of trading a Kershaw or a Kemp (as he did last winter). (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2009-08-05 13:00:00 | Marc, I am growing ever more depressed as an Astros fan. Though we didn't make a stupid trade for a Randy Wolf type like we did last year, the team continues to play ~.500 ball, no more no less, while having an extremely old team and extremely barren farm system. Isn't this team due for a few disastrous seasons, and in the near future? (Phillip from Sugar Land, TX) | I think the Astros problem is that, if they outperform their expected record, they take it as their true talent level. Then they end up buying pieces and adding to the team, and then end up stuck in the middle again. They never truly progress, but because of the constant tweaking, they never fall apart entirely either. I'm not sure it's quite as bad as being an average team in the NBA, but it doesn't help. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2009-04-20 13:00:00 | I'm sort of surprised that there isn't more media coverage of the Dodgers dominance over the past eight games - they are WHIPPING teams and aren't really firing on all cylinders yet. This is the best 1-8 in the NL and Billingsley and Kershaw have been lights out, Broxton has been unhittable; assuming Kuroda comes back strong, they have a solid rotation and depth in McDonald. Thoughts? (Silv from NY, NY) | They're on my list for this week. My standard line on them has been that I don't think much of Casey Blake, but if he's your eighth-best hitter, you have a lineup. The pitching depth worries me--not a Randy Wolf fan, the back of the bullpen is shaky--but from 1-17 or so, it's a heck of a roster. Best team in that division, especially given the Diamondbacks' problems developing those bats. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2009-02-11 14:00:00 | John, was signing Randy Wolf the right call over aving that money and giving James McDonald a real shot at a rotation spot? (Gray (Chicago) from Chicago) | If the Dodgers were serious about repeating, they needed one more reliable pitcher in that rotation. I liked it at 5M for one year. (John Perrotto) |
| 2009-02-03 13:00:00 | "The Mets preferred Perez to Randy Wolf, Ben Sheets and the other free agent starters still on the market." Really? (ssimon from Pelham, NY) | Works for me. I don't believe for a second that Ben Sheets is healthy enough to warrant a deal like what Perez got, and he's the only pitcher close to Perez left out there. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2009-02-03 13:00:00 | Joe-thanks for the chat. Are the Dodgers better off signing Dunn, Hudson and Wolf vs. Manny and Wolf? (raygu1 from princeton, nj) | Why are they signing Randy Wolf? Why, in fact, do I have so many references to Randy Wolf in my queue? He's a flyball pitcher without the stuff to pull that off, a 6.24 ERA waiting to happen.
The Dodgers have jammed up their roster in a way that makes it hard for them to sign players. Too many roster spots and too much money being wasted on Juan Pierre and Casey Blake and Jason Schmidt. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2008-12-23 14:00:00 | Is there anyone the Nats should be pursuing? (Charlie from Bethesda, MD) | If they're intend on spending money where they might get value *and* have someone people might give you good stuff to get for themselves at a trade deadline in the next few years, maybe you give something multi-yeared to Garland or Randy Wolf, or something in a one-year flavor for Bartolo Colon. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2008-08-18 13:00:00 | Why are Astros fans under the false impression they are still in the playoff hunt...with or without this long winning streak? (Drew from Chicago) | Because that's what the management team has been telling them for months, and that team went out and traded for Randy Wolf and LaTroy Hawkins to reinforce that idea. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2008-07-25 14:00:00 | Well, does Livan have any trade value, currently? (Bill Smith from Cleveland) | Randy Wolf brought back a top-ten prospect from a team, so I suppose anything is possible. I'm thinking Ed Wade's in the book, Bill. Call him up. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2008-07-25 14:00:00 | What's the dumbest rumor mongering you've heard thus far? (Chris from TX) | Probably the Astros being interested in Randy Wolf. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2008-06-26 13:00:00 | Please tell me the Phillies will be agressive and land Sabathia or Bedard and not settle for a mediocre pitcher like Paul Byrd or Randy Wolf this year! (Ruben Gillbuckle from Philadelphia) | The Phillies don't have near enough to offer for a guy like Sabathia. They'll be in the mix for second-tier bait, but that's it. (Dayn Perry) |
| 2008-02-19 13:00:00 | As a fantasy player whose not adverse to some risk, what can I expect out of Liriano? What's the scoop? How did others with something similar come back? (Roger from Pasadena) | Tommy John return is about as predictable as it gets. Most will come back with little or no problem and perhaps a skosh more velocity and less control. A small percentage will see a secondary shoulder problem, like Randy Wolf did last season. These TEND to be minor. I'd expect Liriano to come back well, but I'm very concerned if he gets much above 150 innings. (Will Carroll) |

| 2009-10-21 17:00:00 | NLCS Game 5 | Steven, I'm not trying to stereotype here but it I long found that it isn't fair to draw assumptions about Latin players. The language and cultural barriers are real and, many times, the American players and media don't ever really get to know some of these guys. I've heard bad things about Padilla but Randy Wolf, who I really respect, gave him a glowing recommendation when asked by Colletti. (John Perrotto) |
| 2009-10-16 13:00:00 | NLCS Game Two/ALCS Game One | ccmonter (Waterloo, Canada): What happened to Torre's quick hook? Kershaw was clearly in trouble and Torre has a full stock in the bullpen. I wrote all about that issue in today's column. Joe wrote his own piece and arrived at completely the opposite conclusion, which should if nothing else stand as a data point the next time the fanboys accuse us of groupthink. I simply don't think you can look at Kershaw in that situation after three walks, three wild pitches, 31 pitches in the inning and God knows what else running through his head and think that having the platoon advantage against Howard is alone enough to outweigh the information that the rest of the inning has given you. Elbert may not have been the man for the job, but Torre could have brought in Randy Wolf for a cameo while double-switching Orlando Hudson (who pinch-hit after the damage was done) and Ronnie Belliard (who'd just ended the inning). The difference between a 3-1 game and a 5-1 game proved decisive. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2009-10-15 17:00:00 | 2009 NLCS Game One (Phillies/Dodgers) | Well, Joe, you got your Randy Wolf appearance. (J.A. Jaffe) |
