Embree was a Type B free agent, but the A's will not receive draft pick compensation because they did not offer arbitration.

I'd prefer Rusch. At least he can spot-start.

Why fork over millions for Embree and/or Rusch? For the amount of money you'll be throwing at these guys, and the amount of success they'll have in a place like Coors, why not take a gamble with pitchers from the Rule 5 draft? Am I missing something? I feel like I'm going bonkers!

Rusch is actually the better choice; he's a solid spot-starter.
And he's more effective.

I forgot how strict this site is with comments, my bad. Nothing negative.

The Rockies have a full 40 man roster, thus they can not participate in the rule 5 draft.
2.5 for Embree is about 2 too much. They should have signed Rusch for the 800K it was reported at.

Why do the Rox keep signing these type of pitchers and show no interest in proven Coors pitcher and club house favorite Josh Fogg?
