ESPN’s Buster Olney offers his thoughts on free agent lefty Mark Mulder:
Whenever Mulder signs, it figures there is an excellent chance he will wind up with the Oakland Athletics, because he’s a perfect fit there — he has a chance to be a high value signing if he rebounds, he’s cheap, he would be a veteran on a team loaded with young pitchers, and, of course, he knows Oakland, having played there for years.
Mulder, 31, had rotator cuff surgery in September of 2007.
