“Duchscherer has invited every team except the Athletics to a public workout next Tuesday”
That’s got to sting. Did Duchscherer have a really bad time with the A’s?
Pete
Nope, that means the A’s are about to sign him and he’s just having this session to see if anyone wants to drastically overpay him what the A’s have already offered*.
*Note: There is a great chance I am 100% wrong here.
Carlos Rubi
He probably just cut ties with them after they decided not to re-sign him. Can’t blame him for having some pride.

I wonder where his pride was when the A’s were paying his checks while he was sitting on the DL

Duke has been holding out for a starting job all winter (and he was also hoping for an offer from a team located near where his son lives), and the A’s didn’t want to guarantee him that, so they went with Harden and McCarthy since they didn’t require any promises.
I still wouldn’t be shocked if he wound up re-signing, in the end. But if he does it will only be because no other team promised him a spot in their rotation.

I am still hoping the Yankees sign him. I think he would be a great #5 SPer.

For two months. He’ll break your heart when he gets hurt.

I do not disagree, but he is a more viable option then Mitre or Colon. I am hoping by the all star break that one of the young arms has developed enough to bring up if the Yankees are in contention. Big IF….

I’m with you man! I’ve been hoping for Duchscherer all off season! If healthy, he’s a #2 – #3 in the rotation. It is a big IF of course, but worth the risk this year without a doubt!
