I thought this would be a good diary to champion any of these Free Agents that could help the Tribe in 08. Every year it seems Shapiro rolls the dice on these types of guys. This year will probably be no different (although, you could argue that picking up Borowski/Byrd would negate this practice).
Here is a list of the current FA pitchers:
1 Mariano Rivera
2 David Riske
3 Bob Wickman
4 Ron Mahay
5 Francisco Cordero
6 Eric Gagne
7 Curt Schilling
8 LaTroy Hawkins
9 Luis Vizcaino
10 Doug Brocail
11 Kenny Rogers
12 Trever Miller
13 Scott Linebrink
14 J.C. Romero
15 Todd Jones
16 Rudy Seanez
17 Mike Myers
18 Tom Glavine
19 Jason Jennings
20 Joe Kennedy
21 Ray King
22 Jorge Julio
23 Freddy Garcia
24 Armando Benitez
25 John Thomson
26 Jon Lieber
27 Eddie Guardado
28 Kris Benson
29 Ron Villone
30 Livan Hernandez
31 Jeremy Affeldt
32 Jose Mesa
33 Aaron Sele
34 Steve Trachsel
35 Kyle Lohse
36 Eric Milton
37 Carlos Silva
38 Elmer Dessens
39 Rodrigo Lopez
40 Shawn Chacon
41 Antonio Alfonseca
42 David Wells
43 Byung-Hyun Kim
44 Tony Armas

Personally, I think Riske and Linebrink will be overpriced for their abilities. I would think that LaTroy Hawkins may be more affordable and someone I could see us taking a chance on.
