In a 1991 episode of "Married With Children," Al Bundy knows the answer to this television sports quiz show question: Who started in centerfield for the White Sox in the 1959 World Series?
ANSWER BELOW
Potentially available starting pitchers besides Roy Oswalt
Cliff Lee, Mariners. The M's just don't seem like they have a playoff run in them.
Kevin Millwood, Orioles. Baltimore could build up a nice bidding war for him, after the fates of Oswalt and Lee are settled.
Jake Westbrook, Indians. He'll have to pick it up to bring back anything decent.
Free agents most likely to return
Pedro Martinez. He has maintained communication with the Phillies for a likely reunion.
Sidney Ponson. He's staying visible with the Long Island Ducks, and teams seem to have an affinity for him.
Carlos Delgado. With his resume, any semblance of health will intrigue teams needing a bat.
Ugliest scene of the weekThe Mariners reacted angrily to a Tacoma News Tribune report that Ken Griffey Jr. was sleeping, and therefore unavailable to pinch hit, late in a recent game.
