Sorry, Mike, it was an honest mistake. I was just so jazzed about Kennedy's performance. I don't think he'll be munching too many innings. We need a Julian Tavarez type to give spot starts and long relief. Oops, I totally forgot about Mussina. Sorry, Mike, it was an honest mistake. I was just so jazzed about Kennedy’s performance.

Igawa was a big-time waste of money. When will MLB teams learn that Japanese starters are #4 starters on average in the Show? Relievers...that is another story. There has been some legit success amongst asian relievers in MLB. Sasaki, Otsuka, Okajima. They just seem to fizzle out toward the end of the season. Dice-K looks like a porcupine and Igawa has the same teeth as Austin Powers before "The Spy Who Shagged Me".

And my point was, it is pretty specious and/or lame to use 16 innings pitched from 4 years ago as evidence that someone is an "excellent established pitcher in the majors for years now". Do you disagree? Rich

And also as inurance against an injury from Pettitte. Paul Byrd woul dbe good, but Cleveland picked up his option. If they could get a reasonable one or two year deal, I'd take a look at Livan Hernandez. Everyone else on that thin list who is decent and reliable will likely get a 3+ year deal. Kenny Rogers is an OK option for anybody but the Yankees. And Schilling would fit the bill if he proevs healthy down the stretch, but I think he signed the "No Yankees" oath.

Thankfully we have some young studs to plug in the rotation. Pretty weak free agent class. Thankfully we have some young studs to plug in the rotation.

Probably the three best options are all over 40(Glavine, Rogers, and Schilling although Glavine actually has a player option, so he's no more of a free agent than Pettitte). I'd like to see Glavine finish as a Brave. I think it'll be interesting to see the deals Colon and Clement have considering they're coming off ineffectiveness/injuries, but have been good in the past. They lucked out with the lack of a really standout free agent starter and whatever deals they get will probably benefit from it. Same thing with Rodrigo Lopez to a lesser degree. He's actually been pretty decent this year when healthy. Yeah, the pitching free agent class this year is pretty sad.

Didn’t he retire? It seems like ages since he’s pitched. He should have retired after he got drilled in the head....I'm pretty sure some one could pick him up for a box of crackerjacks and ball of lint. Maybe the Marlins?? And Matt Clement?
