It's become less likely that the Phillies are going to part with Bobby Abreu, so don't believe the rumors. Gillick said yesterday that the offensive hit the team would take by dealing Abreu could only warrant a top of the line starter. "If you do a deal involving him, you've got to get a lot back. There are clubs that just don't have that much to give back."

So like I said before, the Phils are going to have to settle for a free agent. Using MLB.com's nifty Free Agent Tracker, I've compiled a list of all the free agent pitchers out there:
Brian Anderson Tony Armas
Pedro Astacio Kevin Brown
Roger Clemens Darren Dreifort
Scott Elarton Shawn Estes
Jason Johnson Byung-Hyun Kim
Al Leiter Jose Lima
Joe Mays Kevin Millwood
Brian Moehler Matt Morris
Jamie Moyer Kenny Rogers
Kirk Rueter Brett Tomko
Ismael Valdez Jarrod Washburn
Jeff Weaver Jamey Wright

This is the complete list, but I think we can make a few edits. Let's just go ahead and remove Kevin Millwood and Roger Clemens for starters. A few others most likely will be resigned, so Matt Morris seems like the best option. The 41 year old, Kenny Rogers might also be an option if the Rangers choose not to offer him arbitration.

By the way, in case you haven't heard, Juan Pierre was traded to the Cubs and Trevor Hoffman will most likely sign with Cleveland.
