October 6, 2008 Cory Wade doesn't get the press of Takashi Saito and Jonathan Broxton but he has done a tremendous job nonetheless, according to Fox Sports. "He never tries to do more than what he can do," one scout says. "He knows that if he keeps his fastball out of the middle of the plate, he can pitch up and down with his curveball and get hitters out all day long."
Our View:Wade posted a 2.27 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and a 2.83 K/BB ratio this season and was a tremendous source of production out of the bullpen in NL-only leagues. Keep his name in mind in '09.

August 22, 2008 Cory Wade has continued to progress in his rehab from shoulder inflammation, and he could return to the team as soon as next Wednesday, according to Dodgers.com.
