[MURP]

after seeing that youtube vid of his screwball I can see why.

[BigEd76]

Frank Thomas to the Blue Jays 

[mpmcgraw]

Excellent.

Less money for them to sign Vernon Wells with.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Interesting. A steal for TOR if he does this year what he did last year. Once again Billy Beane lets a player walk who helped him.

Maybe he'll take Burrell.

[mpmcgraw]

That actually makes sense.

He loves getting productive players that are undervalued and would come at a reduced cost.  (I am not even trying to bait you)

[PhillyPhreak54]

 

The only problem with that is the productive part.

[mpmcgraw]

Not if he doesnt have to play the field...           

[PhillyPhreak54]

Or hit.

Here are the Free Agent starting pitchers, according to mlb.com:

     Player                    Position    2006        2007        Signing Date & Notes
1.      Armas, Tony    SP    WSH    ---    ---    ---
2.      Batista, Miguel    SP    ARI    ---    ---    ---
9.      Eaton, Adam    SP    TEX    ---    ---    ---

36.      Ohka, Tomo    SP    MIL    ---    ---    ---

44.      Schmidt, Jason    SP    SF    ---    ---    ---
53.      Williams, Woody    SP    SD    ---    ---    ---
59.      Zito, Barry

These guys are who I wouldn't mind seeing in Philly. Mulder might be done, but if he came cheap I'd take a shot on him.  Pettitte might retire, but I doubt he will end up doing it. He's trying to be like his boy Rocket.

Schimdt, Zito and Maddux have no shot of coming here.

[MDS]

It's really down to Meche, Wolf and Eaton. Probably whichever one comes cheapest.

[SunMo]

Braves are on the verge of acquiring Jake Peavy

[mpmcgraw]

I hate you.

[MDS]

Yea Marcus Giles to SD was rumored. But not for Peavy. The Braves better be giving up Hudson.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The Tigers re-signed Seans Casey!
