If you want to risk some money for a pitcher with arm problems my take would be spend it on Clement. He is going to be a full year plus from his shoulder surgery come spring. He was a better pitcher than Wolf to start with, BUT, I figure you're going to have to guarantee 4 or 5 million plus incentives to get him. (Other clubs are already linked to an interest, and I've heard $4million as a guarantee tossed around).

With Wolf the shoulder AND the elbow history really compounds the risk.
