While the free agent market for pitchers will be pretty light this summer, that might play into the hands of both Randy Wolf and Joel Pineiro. How light is the market? Well, consider that ESPN.com's Jayson Stark rates those two as the second and third best purchase options in the crop respectively, behind John Lackey.Of Wolf, Stark writes, "Wolf's stock has risen faster this year than IBM's. He'd be 18-6 if the Dodger bullpen hadn't blown EIGHT saves for him. He's ripped off 14 straight starts of six innings or more. And only four pitchers in the whole sport can beat his 19 starts of no more than two earned runs allowed."
It's too early to start talking about contracts for free agents but it'll be interesting to see how Wolf pitches this postseason, and how it helps or hurts his value.
