What seems to be a lackluster FA market pitching market, there are a few more gems available. Roy Oswalt seems to be the next one to go, but Edwin Jackson's name has been mentioned, partially due to his similarities to Gio Gonzalez. For a better look at the whole list, Over the Monster took dive into this last week.
Who's the best available? See after the jump.
Lets take a look at the comparisons to C.J. Wilson and Mark Buehrle.
| Name | FIP | SIERA | K/9 | BB/9 |
| C.J. Wilson | 3.24 | 3.44 | 8.3 | 2.98 |
| Mark Buehrle | 3.98 | 4.38 | 4.78 | 1.97 |
Considering Wilson was by far the best out of this bunch, Buehrle was known to be the second to go and got his 4/yr $58MM. The guys on next up would surely cost less than that, but they produce similar results, with less hype.
| Name | FIP | SIERA | K/9 | BB/9 |
| Roy Oswalt | 3.44 | 4.04 | 6.02 | 2.14 |
| Edwin Jackson | 3.55 | 4.01 | 6.67 | 2.79 |
| Rich Harden | 4.69 | 3.47 | 9.91 | 3.37 |
Roy Oswalt and Edwin Jackson might not seem like a surprise, but Rich Harden might be. With a SIERA close to C.J. Wilson and higher K/9 than everyone, he might be a bargain barring injury concerns. His BB/9 is high, but hopefully his high K-rate balances that out.
