So, using my plan, we have now targeted three starting pitchers, from hapless small market teams that might be looking to dump salary come the All-Star break:
Cliff Lee - Cleveland Indians
Adam Eaton - Baltimore Orioles
Jason Marquis - Colorado Rockies
Let's continue...
We've checked out 5 teams: Cleve, Balt., Colo, Wash, and Oakland.
Next in line, is Houston, with only 11 wins and dead last in the NL Central:
The Astros starters are:
Roy Oswalt - 0-2, 4.26 - 31-yrs old - 73mil contract thru 2010, club option 2011
Wandy Rodriquez - 2-2, 2.19 - 30-yrs old - 1yr - 2.6mil
Mike Hampton - 1-3, 4.91 - 36-yrs old - hahahahaha
Russ Ortiz - 2-1, 5.91 - turning 35 in June - 1yr - 750K
Brian Moehler - 0-2, 14.00 - 37-yrs old - 1yr - 2.3
The Astros have a 102mil payroll, so I'm not sure they qualify as a small market team; however, this ain't Boston...
Boy, it this an old squad... we can first rule out Mike Hampton for a thousand reasons... Rodriquez, ortiz, and Moeller are all operating under one year contracts, so there is nothing to save there.... that leaves the big guy, with the big contract...
A look at Oswalt... only 31-years old... lifetime 129-66... only 31-yrs old... 3.16 lifetime ERA... only 31-yrs old... okay, we can stop here... Oswalt goeson our list, though it would be quite an investment...

I agree Mack, though Oswalt is starting on that downhill slope IMO.
well, for now, we're just building a list of candidates... we'll review them when I'm done...
next up... the land of Peavey...
