Phillies Sign Chad Durbin
According to Dejan Kovacevic, starter Chad Durbin has reached an agreement with the Phillies. The Bucs missed out on another targeted free agent.
Durbin, a 30 year-old journeyman, posted a 4.72 ERA in 127 innings for the Tigers. His numbers were below-average across the board; I'm not sure how much he'll help the Phillies' starting pitching woes. They're looking at a rotation of Cole Hamels, Brett Myers, Kyle Kendrick, Jamie Moyer, and Durbin (no one's counting on Adam Eaton). Beyond the front two that rotation is going to be pretty bad. | |

| Pirates fall short for Durbin, but still active
Former Detroit starter agrees to terms with Philadelphia
Wednesday, December 19, 2007
By Dejan Kovacevic, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The Pirates keep coming up second.
Their bid for free-agent starter Chad Durbin, formerly of the Detroit Tigers, was turned down today in favor of one made by the Philadelphia Phillies, according to an industry source.
Terms of the contract agreement were not immediately known, but the Pirates and Phillies were the two finalists.
This came a week after the Pirates were the bridesmaid for free-agent reliever Luis Vizcaino, who agreed to terms with the Colorado Rockies for two years and $7.5 million.
Durbin, 30, was 8-7 with a 4.32 ERA last season, one in which he won a spot in the Tigers' rotation in the spring because of an injury to Kenny Rogers, then moved in and out while winding up with 19 starts. | |

He is related to a senator (or something like that). Jim Bunning is a senator. There's a handful of senators that have something to do with Tigers. Too bad a handful of senators don't pass legislation and marches alone can't bring integration..... whoops, this isn't a music thread EDIT: Wikipedia says the two (Chad and Richard) are not related. Who knows | |

EDIT: Wikipedia says the two (Chad and Richard) are not related. Who knows Yeah, I thought he was. I have even told people that. The person that added that was a user called "LSU52", so that might be him. Oh yeah, we're on the eve of destruction.... Speaking of songs, I heard your favorite Christmas song earlier.

Then cut it in half: $900,000 Durbin signed a one-year, $900,000 deal with the Phillies. Wasn't he suppose to get like $1.2 Million in arbitration? | |
