Freddy Garcia?

obviously he was pretty bad last year, but he might bounce back. He's had a couple good years before then.

Do you want this guy?

i'll take him if he isn't looked to be relied on as anything pivtol. i'll sign him but defintely look for a ace and another pitcher. freddy can be in the 'pen or be in the rotation if pelfrey aint workin out

No thanks, dont even waste time.

1year / incentive based contract is the max I would go but dont even look at him for an important option.

up until he got hurt last year he'd pitched 200 innings for like 5 or 6 straight seasons...but i don't even remember what the injury was...who's to say that it won't come back? like jose7 said, 1 year with an incentive based contract is all that i'd bother with.

That sounds great, but the problem is that he probably would get a better deal with another team.

I agree that overpaying is stupid, but at the same time, not having a decent 5th starter isn't very good either. So it's a tough call - when to overpay for that guy you might need. Starting pitchers are at a premium right now.

Gah, more smoke and mirrors from Omar... we need a true pitching upgrade, somehow, someway...

I'll take a pass, but I will keep in touch with him. I would much rather have him than someone like silva or livan. Give him a 1 year 6.5 million with some incentives for up to 8mil or something if we cant get Haren/Santana/Blanton.

But I'm just so sick right now. CAN WE PLEASE get a pitcher? Everyone is trying to fleece us probably because we know how bad we need a starting pitcher in all of our trade scenarios.

Just give Billy Beane his propects for Haren and move on. I dont want Santana, hes a rent-a-player. He can come to us during FA for 6 years whatever million it will take.
