Fantasy Analysis
Wells pitched to a 6.23 ERA in two spot starts with the Cubs this year. He'll take Kerry Wood's place in the bullpen, and isn't expected to make a big impact. Fantasy owners should continue to ignore Wells in the majority formats. (Updated 05/19/2012).

Everything comes to a head in Week 25, but there are still important decisions to be made. Al Melchior has you covered with his Pitching Planner.
09/11/2011 09:39 Week 24 Fantasy Pitching Planner
With only 36 pitchers starting two games in Week 24, owners are going to have to make some tough calls when filling out their rotations. Al Melchior's Pitching Planner sheds some light on who might make a difference.
Randy Wells missed much of the first half of the 2011 campaign due to forearm strain but his performance down the stretch could have earned him a spot in the rotation heading into this season. In his 14 starts after the All-Star break the right-hander went 6-3 with a 4.04 ERA, including two complete games and a shutout. He finished the year 7-6 with a 4.99 ERA over 23 outings. With all of the changes the Cubs have made in the offseason, the 29-year-old will compete for one of the final spots in the rotation during spring training so keep an eye on his progress. Wells jumped on the Fantasy map by winning 12 games with a 3.05 ERA in 2009 and if he can post numbers anywhere close to that this season, he will be worth a look in deeper mixed leagues. Target him more in NL-only formats on Draft Day. (Updated 2/21/12)
