Mulder back to Oakland...

by jfs on Nov 4, 2006 6:44 PM EST

I saw the below prediction on mlbtraderumors.com's recent Top 50 Free Agents and Where They'll Go list...

39. Mark Mulder - A's. Mulder still has friends on the A's and could be a bargain for Billy Beane on an incentive-based deal. The Orioles have been mentioned as well, but are probably the third choice after the A's and Cards.

...and thought: God, if that happens, the irony! If the A's ever win a championship I'm sure there are people in Card Land (and on this board) who'll want a share of it... or they'll just scream a lot, insofar as one can scream in print.

I can't see Mulder with the A's

Isn't their whole M.O. about strikeout, walk, and homerun rates...defense independent pitching. Not exactly something Mulder is known for these days. Mulder is nothing without a solid infield defense. He'd be wise to stay in STL.

I'm just saying...

with the peripherals mulder's got, I don't see him getting too big of an offer from Oakland. I can see the Mets (especially if Pedro officially reitres) as a more likely big-offer source.
