Pettitte is only 5 years old in dog years…

You’re doing it backwards…….
Mr. Furious
He’s probably not on the list because he signed a minor league deal, and thus is not (yet) on the 40-man.

Vogelsong and Chen, both at 34, just entered into their prime last year. Dickey entered into his prime at 35.

Their “prime” is not one lucky season

Correction: Livan Hernandez (43)

Here’s hoping Jamie Moyer returns to the majors and destroys this list at the spry age of 49.

This is a disproporionately National League list. 6 of 18 are on AL rosters. 2 of the 6, Lowe and Kuroda, signed in the off season after multiple NL seasons. None pitched his whole career in the AL: Garcia comes the closest. Many are clinging to the edge of the cliff in the NL, no longer good enough for the AL (Westbrook, Lilly, Arroyo, Millwood, Dickey).
Obviously Doc, Hudson and Carpenter (when healthy) can pitch anywhere. But the NL is where old AL pitchers go to hang on.

You are so wrong about Dickey.
Dave Pierce
Once he comes off the DL, AJ Burnett should be on this list. Age 35 right now.

Roger Clemens not making a comeback this year?

I remember when these guys were rookies.
I’m so old.

What is the point of this post? Is the author suggesting that since these guys are 35 (or turning 35) they are more prone to be injured or perform poorly? Why was 35 chosen?
