He threw 1998 innings with an even 4.00 ERA from 2000-11 — it pays to be a league-average starter with some longevity. There aren’t many guys that get to the point where they can consistently deliver 30 league-average starts on a year-to-year basis.

A lot of innings in hitters parks too as his 99 career ERA+ shows he was right at league average in terms of run prevention, as you said.

He should of taken the deal the Mariners gave him in 2014, but I’m glad he diddnt

I’ll never forget every time he started at the Vet, there was the Wolf Pack to cheer him on. Quite the group of enthusiastic characters.

Was trying to remember him signing with the Diamondbacks but he only lasted a month in the minors.

Congrats to Randy Wolf.

His tenure in Detroit last season was like throwing himself on a grenade. He came to a team and rotation in shambles and somehow helped them limp to the finish line without any further major catastrophes. It was a thankless job, but it did not go unnoticed here. Wish him the best in his well earned retirement.
