It was not a bad signing. Wolf was a big reason we got to the playoffs last year. But there was no way they were going to pick up his option. Maybe he can latch onto a contender.
Wolf was not bad, he was adequate. I think they were miffed that he need Kottaras always at catcher and not Lucroy. I mean how good was Kottaras with that 6 ERA. I am kind of upset I won't see him gambling at the casino in St. Louis when I visit in September.
"Suppan made more money than Wolf did for less production. For the $40 million the Brewers gave Suppan over four years, he gave them 1.6 fWAR, with 2.5 fWAR coming in the first year of the contract (the only year he provided the team with positive value). Wolf, on the other hand, gave the Brewers 2.7 fWAR for just under $30 million over the past three years. That’s not great. That’s not even all that good, to be honest. But unlike Suppan, Wolf never had a season of negative value in terms of fWAR, and unlike Suppan, Wolf played a major role in a postseason series — his Game 4 start in last year’s NLCS was one of the few pitching bright spots for the Brewers in the postseason. The postseason memory we have of Suppan is the doomed feeling we had in Game 4 of the 2008 NLDS against the Phillies."
