Fantasy Analysis
Even though Wolf pitched well on Thursday, that doesn't mean his stock has gone up that much in Fantasy leagues. The 35-year-old finished the regular season going 13-10 with a 3.69 ERA. He also posted a 134-to-66 strikeout-to-walk ratio over his 212 1/3 innings of work. Fantasy owners should view him as a low-end SP option in deeper leagues heading into the 2012 season.

02/01/2012 13:21 By the Numbers: Pitchers with a new look
Why should owners have even higher hopes for Cole Hamels in 2012? Could Homer Bailey finally be able to deliver on his potential? Our Al Melchior profiles four pitchers to remember of Draft Day.
With the additions of starters Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum in the offseason, Randy Wolf had more protection in the rotation last season and was able to improve in his second year in Milwaukee. He remained consistent throughout the season as he posted a 3.65 ERA in the first half and a 3.73 mark in his 14 starts after the All-Star break. The left-hander matched the 13 wins he posted in 2010 but was able to decrease his ERA significantly. He also threw 200-plus innings for the third straight year and walked just 66 batters. The 35-year-old does not have a ton of pressure on him, and thanks to a potent Brewers offense, he should be able to reach double-digit wins for the fifth straight season in 2012. Since he does not stand out in any one category, target Wolf in deeper mixed leagues on Draft Day. (Updated 1/25/12)
