Rumorville: Mark Mulder

Actually, your Cream City Crushers seem determined to get an ex-Cardinal on their pitching staff:

Mark Mulder, LHP, free agent: Milwaukee and Oakland are big on the comebacking pitcher, and it appears the Sox will be watching him throw in Arizona in the next two weeks.

Mulder's stats are here. Obvious, there's concern over his injuries, with Mulder having missed most of the past three seasons.  However, if you look at his last four "healthy" years, from 2002 to 2005, there's still some concern there: although his ERA looks fine, his WHIP and BAA had been on the rise each of those years.  To my surprise, he turns only 32 this summer.

Speaking of injured pitchers...you don't hear much about John Smoltz nowadays.
