"To the Pythagoreans, 4 was the source of the tetractys 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10, the most perfect number."
Four was indeed the most perfect number for us fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers last season, as our Fourth Starter, Randy Wolf, seemingly became the de facto Ace right before our eyes. Hoping to catch lightning in a bottle again this year, Ned Colletti will wear down the remaining free agent starters' agents like a veteran prize fighter until he can get them to sign for much less money than they anticipated getting just months ago. I have rounded up links of the only talked about pitchers available right now and ranked them in order of how hard it appears that the Dodgers are pursuing them.
(The first Four are grouped together in RUMORS so often that I will keep them together here as well)
- Joel Pineiro - decent groundball pitcher who oddly is not as good in even-numbered years.
- Vicente Padilla - any guy who chills with Tony Montana is cool!
- Braden Looper - made more sense to me last year.
- Jon Garland - as far as I can tell, the Dodgers are not as interested in Jon right now at the price he's asking for. He's a backburner option, if that.
- Ben Sheets - could be a great pickup, could be a Jason Schmidt clone.
- Noah Lowry - more of an NRI guy to me.
