Hot Winter Already Brewing

I didn't know Buehrle was a free agent either. I think I'd rather have him than Zito or Schmidt (because of age difference). He's not nearly as bad as he was last year so he might come at a discount.

I like your comments about Meche. For those interested in fantasy, he is a great end of the draft/free agent pickup. You just need to know when to start him. He was great at home last year with oppenents hitting .235 against him and averaging 1 SO an inning. Thats top tier performance. Just dont start him on the road because he pitches like, well the Gil Meche you picked up with your last pick of the draft. I would think that pitcher friendly Shea would provide similar benefits to Safeco. A move to the NL should also help his numbers. He would be a great value pick for the Mets.

Jamie Moyer is a southpaw. Has been his whole career. ;)

Statuscrow, thanks for the heads up.

FYI--
Chisox have a 9.5mil option on Buehrle. I don't think its too likely they choose the $1mil buyout to make him a FA.
