He didn’t allow more than five earned runs in any of his 27 starts, which helped him rank tenth the NL with a 3.05 ERA. While he wasn’t a big strikeout pitcher (5.66 K/9 mark), he did ring up 10 Ks in his last outing of the season, which may be an indicator of things to come. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Randy_Wells/608929 608929 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:56:18 EDT mlb.com 23 days 9 hours 53 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Randy_Wells/608929 Wells struck out 10 and walked one while holding the D-Backs to three hits over seven shutout innings on Saturday.

He was an unlikely candidate when the season began to wind up as the Cubs' most reliable starter, but that's what he's arguably become. His 18 quality outings in 27 starts have helped him produce a 3.05 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP and 104 strikeouts in 165 1/3 innings. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Randy_Wells/563239 563239 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 16:48:18 EDT mlb.com 49 days 6 hours 1 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Randy_Wells/563239 Rick Gano, of The Associated Press, reports Chicago Cubs SP Randy Wells pitched seven shutout innings Saturday, Oct. 3, to pick up his 12th win of the season.

Our View: The start was a nice exclamation point on an excellent rookie campaign for Wells. In 27 starts this season, he went 12-10 with a 3.05 ERA. Expect him to garner a fair amount of rookie-of-the-year consideration. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Randy_Wells/563130 563130 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 15:40:02 EDT fanball.com 49 days 7 hours 10 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Randy_Wells/563130 Randy Wells allowed three hits in seven strong innings and struck out a career-high 10, helping the Chicago Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0 on Saturday. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Randy_Wells/563112 563112 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 15:24:02 EDT yahoo.com 49 days 7 hours 26 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Randy_Wells/563112 Paul Sullivan, of The Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago Cubs SP Randy Wells is a lock to be in the team's rotation heading into the 2010 season. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Randy_Wells/553733 553733 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:00:04 EDT kffl.com 54 days 6 hours 50 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Randy_Wells/553733 Wells was hit hard once again in Sunday's loss to the Giants, giving up five runs on 10 hits over 5.2 innings.

Still, that mark, along with his 1.31 WHIP are impressive figures for a rookie. He's been overshadowed by fellow first-year pitchers J.A. Happ and Tommy Hanson in the NL, but Wells has showed the type of consistency that typically isn't expected from rookies. Go ahead and give him a turn for the final time when he battles the D-backs at Wrigley Field on Oct. 3. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Randy_Wells/552150 552150 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:16:15 EDT mlb.com 55 days 1 hours 34 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Randy_Wells/552150 Wells has convinced manager Lou Piniella to give him two more starts this season, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Piniella said Wells may get only one more start, on Sept. 30, but Wells said he may lobby for more to show the Cubs he can handle the load. He has pitched a career-high 153 innings, and Piniella limited him to 89 pitches Tuesday.
