Brad Penny (left) signed a $3 million contract with the Tigers this offseason possibly making Armando Gallaraga (right) the odd man out in the Tigers 2011 rotation. Is that the right move? |
This time of the MLB off season is usually slow going. A slew of minor league deals for utility players and late signing relievers come to terms with new teams each year. This is also the part of the off season when teams in need of starting pitch, which let's face it, is pretty much every team, start to look hard at the so-called "reclamation projects." This off season is no different, other than there seems to be an abundance of these pitchers available this off season. Pitchers such as
Jeff Francis,
Chris Young,
Justin Duchscherer and a handful of others will be coming off of injuries or down years and looking to parlay a team friendly, one year contract into a long term deal in the future.
