If the A's felt like they couldn't fork over the money to sign Mulder, Zito, or Hudson to an extension, they aren't going to sign a slightly lesser pitcher to an extension for as much or more money than the other three would get
i understand that and is a very good point BUT all am saying is maybe Beane will think Garland will start the season with oakland and like it and can sign him to an extension before the season is over,just a thought i would just hate to lose garland and not get a starter back because we dont know how Vaz will turn out and if count will sign thats all guys.
