The high ERA and lack of an ability to miss bats suggests he is more likely to help your team lose. I decided against having Garland for that reason. I haven't really liked Garland so I chose not to put on the team.

Alright. That's a fair argument. I dunno, I just always kinda like Garland. I guess it also depends on your faith in your fielders...
It is interesting that these guys are all still unemployed (actually, Pettitte is said to have signed with the Yankees). Perhaps MLB owners are sending a message to the big-name agents?

I think the 1 player that really surprises me that he is still unsigned is Orlando Hudson. I think he is a very good 2nd baseman with a good bat. And being a Pirates fan I want them to sign Abreu, and Sheets.
