Picking from the 'Pitching Scrap Pile'.


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          
   45 Odalis Perez          
   46 Bartolo Colon          
   47 Mark Redman            
   48 Brian Moehler          
   49 Kip Wells              
   50 Jeff Weaver            
   51 Matt Clement      
   52 Russ Ortiz

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.
