Free Agent Bargain Bin: Starting Pitchers

The big-ticket items made their way out the door before Christmas, but with just over a month before spring training camps open, this is the time of year for general managers to find the market’s forgotten gems. Jim Thome (4.3 WARP), Jon Garland (4.2 WARP), Colby Lewis (4.1 WARP), and Orlando Hudson (3.6 WARP) were all signed with a month or less of camps opening last year, and while these are the aberration more than the norm, it is clear that good value can be found even on the eve of spring training.
