Personally, I like going to one knee to make base calls. It locks you in and gets you down closer to the level of the base.
I saw the play you are talking about and Wolf did get straight lined. In hindsight, he probably wishes he would have waited maybe a split second before going to the knee and he could have moved inside for a better look at the foot. I think he saw Furcal release the throw and it was too late to move inside at that point.
I do like the knee, though.
