Shopping in the Valley of Ashes

[Guest Swan Swan H]

MLB Trade Rumors posted this list of former major league pitchers currently on minor league deals. All have rapidly approaching out clauses, and if they are not called up could be had for a song, or perhaps a verse and a chorus.

Jair Jurrjens intrigues me, but his date is furthest away among those listed.

Jurrjens threw a no-hitter in that horrible Clint Eastwood/Amy Adams/Justin Timberlake movie.

I'd ask a Shaman to bring Wahoo McDaniel back from his grave if I thought it would help the Jets.
Why not sift through the ashes to find some remaining fire for the Mets?
I'd give Wang a shot. His best pitch is a sinker, so he might survive without having to rely on the outfield defense very much.

They should let Ankiel pitch a few starts.

[Lefty Specialist]

I'd take a flyer on Jurrjens. Can't be any worse than what they're throwing out there now.

[Edgy MD]

Oh yes he can.

Can't be much worse is a good way to tempt fate.

I'd like to drop Shawn Marcum from the rotation purely to punish him for all the bullshit he's already tried to make us eat. F you, Shawn Marcum.

He's starting Saturday.

For the Orioles.
