The two most likely free agent lefties to sign with Arizona are Mark Mulder or Randy Wolf. Points in Mulder's favor are that he is just 29, resides in the Phoenix area, has been a workhorse in the past, and has allowed just two runs in three career starts against Arizona (all wins). However, he has had significant injuries the past two seasons, resulting in widespread ineffectiveness, and is an extreme flyball pitcher, so might not succeed in the dry heat of Arizona even if everything's right with him. Wolf has also had injuries these past two seasons, but should come at a cheaper price, has also handled the Diamondbacks well, and has been more effective lately when healthy enough to pitch. He's also used to pitching in a home run park.
