Jeff Suppan

While watching him in the playoffs, he seemed alot like Millwood except for the 4 to 6 MPH on his fastball. The highest I saw it was at 89. He did seem to have good control over all of his pitches. He also threw his curveball with more regularity than Millwood, but the velocity on Millwood's fastball may be the reason for that.
In case we do not give Zito 102 mil, why not bring in Suppan to be our fourth starter? I do not think he will be great, but 12-13 wins is OK and totally obtainable in my opinion.
Millwood 16 wins
Padilla 15 wins
Tejeda 14 wins
Suppan 13 wins
Josh Rupe/Danks at the end of the year 12 wins
Suppan @ 8 mil a year for three years I would definately do with this years market the way that it is. Also, I have not seen any headlines reporting Suppan signing, so if he has disregard everything you have just read and be thankful there is something new in the diaries section.

At 8mm for 3 years

sure, it'd be fine. Better than fine. That's a cheap-o signing these days.

But he'll get more than that. A lot more. Like 4/48. He's better than Eaton, and a bigger name than Lilly. If he can't crack 10mm per year, he needs to fire his agent.

Jason Botts: 500+ AB's in '07, or bust!!!
