Doc,
Thanks for the F500 perspective, but... what if Jack was doing his old buddy a favor to begin with by even offering him a spot on the team... I mean 6 homers in 19 innings, 9 strike outs, 7 walks almost 5.0 ERA does not inspire me to recommend you as a someone I want to block my young guns who are anxious to prove themselves - even if those young guns are Beavan and Noesi whom I traded for and possibly have made strides that the scouts are seeing.
This story could easily have been Jack saying the ONLY way we will think about offering you a job is that we'll give you a month+ to prove yourself before Walker & Kuma get healthy.... but the scouts / Rick Waits are saying this guy is toast... we do not want his 85 mph fastball anywhere near my rotation.
These negotiations did go on for a day... heck MAYBE the agent asked for the opportunity to present Wolf the 45 day option to prove himself... We do not know.
