While I was watching the San Diego Padres’ Cactus League game versus the Angels, my ears perked up in the 8th inning when the Halos’ color-commentator made a curious, but completely true remark.
He said, to paraphrase, that there is a pretty good six-man rotation of pitchers that are still without jobs on February 25th. He wasn’t joking. Jake Arrieta, Lance Lynn, Jeremy Hellickson, Alex Cobb, John Lackey, Kyle Kendrick, Scott Feldman, Clay Bucholz, Ubaldo Jimenez, and even R.A. Dickey are still lurking on the free-agent market.
