Looks like he is hoping to have a real good year this year and cash in with a longer term deal next year. I bet he could have gotten more than one year.

The Phillies offered him more years and more money, but he turned that down to come home to Southern Cal.

I like reading about a player signing for less money (and years) just so he can go play where he wants to be.

Of course, Randy Wolf could have only signed a one year deal in hopes of having a good season and getting more years/money next offseason. Then again, if the Phillies did actualy offer Wolf more years/money and Wolf turned it down, it shows how much he wanted to be in California.

It's in a way sorta like Jamie Moyer. He didn't waive his no trade clause to Houston a couple years ago, but waived it to come to Philly because he wanted to come home. I really like players like that, and I respect Wolf with what he did.
