Revisiting The Free Agent Pitcher Signings
Written by wrigleyville   
Friday, 21 September 2007
Remember the strum and drang around whether the Cubs should sign either Barry Zito or Jason Schmidt ... or sign a couple of low- to mid-level pitchers, such as Jeff Suppan, Ted Lilly, Jason Marquis or Gil Meche? And remember the derision around the Cubs ultimately signing Ted Lilly and Jason Marquis? One NL Central preview called Ted Lilly "overpaid" and Jason Marquis "the worst offseason acquisition" and Jeff Suppan the "second-best offseason acquisition" in the division. Reviewing what has happened the last six months, Jim Hendry is looking pretty savvy after signing Jason Marquis and Ted Lilly (while hooked up to an EKG). Let's go to the statistics: Innings Suppan 192 Marquis 183 Lilly 200 Zito 184 Schmidt 26 W-L Suppan 10-12 Marquis 12-8 Lilly 15-7 Zito 9-13 Schmidt 1-4 ERA Suppan 4.72 Marquis 4.07 Lilly 3.78 Zito 4.56 Schmidt 6.31 Ks Suppan 105 Marquis 102 Lilly 168 Zito 126 Schmidt 22 BBs Suppan 62 Marquis 71 Lilly 54 Zito 80 Schmidt 14 WHIP Suppan 1.495 Marquis 1.309 Lilly 1.135 Zito 1.356 Schmidt 1.792 Quality Starts Suppan 14 Marquis 15 Lilly 20 Zito 17 Schmidt 1 Age Suppan 32 Marquis 29 Lilly 31 Zito 29 Schmidt 34 Contract Suppan 4 years, $42 million Marquis 3 years, $21 million Lilly 4 years, $40 million Zito 7 years, $126 million Schmidt 3 years, $47 million Given that, who had the better offseason - both overall and from a cost-benefit basis - when it comes to signing free agent pitchers? The Cubs, Giants, Brewers or Dodgers?
