List of Free Agent Pitchers

It’s become less likely that the Phillies are going to part with Bobby Abreu, so don’t believe the rumors.  Gillick said yesterday that the offensive hit the team would take by dealing Abreu could only warrant a top of the line starter.  "If you do a deal involving him, you’ve got to get a lot back.  There are clubs that just don’t have that much to give back."

So like I said before, the Phils are going to have to settle for a free agent.  Using MLB.com’s nifty Free Agent Tracker, I’ve compiled a list of all the free agent pitchers out there:  

Brian Anderson	Tony Armas
Pedro Astacio	Kevin Brown
Roger Clemens	Darren Dreifort
Scott Elarton	Shawn Estes
Jason Johnson	Byung-Hyun Kim
Al Leiter	Jose Lima
Joe Mays	Kevin Millwood
Brian Moehler	Matt Morris
Jamie Moyer	Kenny Rogers
Kirk Rueter	Brett Tomko
Ismael Valdez	Jarrod Washburn
Jeff Weaver	Jamey Wright

This is the complete list, but I think we can make a few edits.  Let’s just go ahead and remove Kevin Millwood and Roger Clemens for starters.  A few others most likely will be resigned, so Matt Morris seems like the best option.  The 41 year old, Kenny Rogers might also be an option

if the Rangers choose not to offer him arbitration. 

By the way, in case you haven’t heard, Juan Pierre was traded to the Cubs and Trevor Hoffman will most likely sign with Cleveland.
