I believe tomorrow is the last day for FA to accept or decline arbitration so it should pick up soon.

Should the White Sox sign “Big Game Freddie”???????

It must be nice for the few GM’s with rotations already set for the upcoming season…
at least for 1 year they don’t have to fight to over pay the scraps that is mlb free agency .

You guys have like 14 Zach Grienke’s in development. Just give it a couple years.

I like this comment a lot

are the brewers at all interested in Brandon Webb? if not, why???

The Padres priority this off season is to “stabilize the starting pitching rotation”. With the loss of Garland, they need a true innings eater. The Padres GM Jed Hoyer also wanted a top of the rotation starter. Sure, they could wait for bargains much like they did last year; but I believe Chris Young has a decent chance at coming back to try regain his value in the extreme pitching confines of Petco park at a discount.
Kevin Millwood would be a very solid fit and probably put up much more favorable numbers getting away from the AL, DH and pitchers parks in general. McCarthy makes sense but I don’t see the Padres relying on pitcher (given Hoyer’s emphasis) with his injury history. Like Chris Young, McCarthy has had a tough time getting out on the field. Having said that, the Padres will look for more than just late off season bargains when it comes to pitching. Aaron Harang and Vincent Padilla could also be relatively cheap attractive options that could fit. Seeing as Hoyer’s emphasis is on pitching, “stabilizing the rotation” and defense, I don’t see the Padres waiting as aforementioned.

How many years does Washburn have to be removed from pitching the in majors before I can stop hearing his name linked to the Twins?
Tim Dierkes
Probably more than one, for example two.

I can only pray you’re right.”Once baseball writers stop using his name” would have also been an acceptably smart-head response.

Mets should be looking intro Chris Young…fly ball pitcher…low risk/high reward…
Mickey Koke
I agree, even throwing his FB 84-88 he misses bats. If healthy he could be a good fit.
MetsEventually
In time he’ll get back some velocity though, right?
jimboslice9
He’s always been a light thrower though, so at best he’ll probably be somewhere between 87-92 with his FB when he builds his velocity back up, if he does.
Mickey Koke
As “Jimboslice9” posts he’s never thrown “hard”. However, there is noway he all of a sudden starts throwing in the 90’s consistently again. He will be in between 86-89MPH.
MetsEventually
I’m now hoping this deal isn’t just a rumor….

You would think Brandon Mccarthy was better than cliff lee with all the teams that want him, I am intrigued by a low cost signing of him and see if he can bring back the hype he had years back
Mark Miazga
I hope the Tigers will not remain content with their rotation. They are assembling a very good lineup (need another OF) and could have a very good and deep bullpen (Valverde, Benoit, Zumaya, Perry, Schlereth), but a rotation of Verlander/Scherzer/Porcello/Coke/Galarraga leaves a lot to be desired in terms of depth and reliability at the backend. An innings-eater in the #4 slot (Garland would have been nice) would be great, as would a ‘project’ of some sort like McCarthy. Need some depth.

I wouldn’t exactly call the Yankees the favorites for Lee. In terms of who’s going to offer Lee the most money, clearly the Yankees are the favorites. But in landing Lee, I’d still say it’s about 50/50 with the Rangers, or maybe 49.9/49.9 and 0.2 elsewhere

i know i might get bashed for this but am i the only one on here that feels that Correia is severely underrated?
