Calling Pavano healthy feels insulting =P

Man, I’d hate to have to commit millions of dollars to that underwhelming bunch. I don’t like Garland and would avoid him, but Arroyo, Kuroda, Westbrook, and Pavano are good enough to be solid #3’s in a rotation. If you expect them to be better than that (and pay them to more than a 3), I think they’ll disappoint. I like Vazquez, but in a low pressure environment (certainly no where in the AL East). See if he gets his velocity and stuff back. Other than those names, I think you’d do more harm than good in signing any of the names listed. Trade market is the place to go.

In order: Lee, Pavano, Kuroda, Westbrook, trade.
Maybe take a flier on Webb, or Padilla, but if they can’t do that, I’d just as soon bring back Bonderman. Much better to go hard after a trade for one of the G Men. Greinke, Garza, Guthrie, and throw in Gio Gonzalez just because Beaneball insists on trading every good player before he has to pay them.

Bondo desn’t deserve a mlb contract. he was awful.

Jeff Karstens better not be cut. He was arguably the Pirates’ best starter until they got McDonald.

Really? I know Ohlendorf has been injured but I’d think he is.
Tim Dierkes
It’s only speculation on my part so maybe they’re not even considering it.

What about Erik Bedard? Even though he’ll more than likely accept his player option.
Jake Humphrey
When did Bedard start pitching right-handed?
Ian Riccaboni
Look for the big fish missing from this list to go 22-4, 2.43 ERA and win the Cy Young.
Yes, that man is Jamie Moyer.
Hurricane
Jamie Moyer isn’t missing from the list unless he decided to start throwing right handed.
Martin
He might throw faster right handed lol
Ian Riccaboni
You haven’t seen his mock HOF plaque on ESPN? He switches to righty this year.
Hurricane
Ok i just saw it lol. I get it now.

Funny how Pavano led the league in innings after ripping off the Yankees for 4 years with buttock and assorted *injuries*
Guest
I know, its hysterical.
Patrick OKennedy
And to think that he turned down more money from the Tigers to play for New York. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Well, at least the Tigers landed a nice consolation prize- Magglio Ordonez!

What’s Kuroda doing on this list? Even as “the best of a mediocre bunch” of starting pitchers, he seems oddly misplaced. Anybody putting up the kind of numbers he has over the last three seasons is at least a borderline ace. He doesn’t do it in spectacular style, but he gets the job done. Maybe it’s a good thing he’s evidently flying under the radar — gives the Dodgers a better chance of signing him again.
Patrick OKennedy
This is a list of right handed Free Agent starting pitchers. Why wouldn’t Kuroda be on the list?
You can rest assured that he is not under anyone’s radar. Either he or Pavano are the premier RHP on the free agent market.
