0 comments by

It's been an odd offseason for starting pitchers. The top name on the market, Zack Greinke, signed the largest contract in history for a right-hander. Middle of the road and back-end options like Dan Haren, Joe Blanton, Kevin Correia, Jeremy Guthrie, and Brandon McCarthy have all signed short-term, relatively low money deals. There have been […]
