Speculation: Marlins, Jeff Francis to Meet

[Miamarlin21]

Alright?

Jeff Francis' agent is scheduled to meet with Pirates, Marlins and Twins at some point this week.
The Mariners have also been linked to the veteran lefty. Francis posted a pedestrian 4.82 ERA and 91/39 K/BB ratio in 183 innings this past season for the Royals, but the market for available starting pitching is bleak.

I can dig

[Beef]

I wish there was an awesome starting pitcher on the FA market this offseason :-\

[Valid]

Maybe because there will be no money left from Pujols. :-)

[Omar]

We're big market now, Valid. We signin' errbody.

[Mainge]

This would be for me

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Yeah, fuck getting a backup ace starter. We'll just sign Pujols and a #4 starter and call it an offseason.

/totally serious

[Beef]

And Reyes and Bell, but yeah. Sounds terrible.

[BigGameFish]

Francis could be this team's 03 Mark Redman

His peripherals are Buehrle-like.

[MiamiHomer]

I may be wrong but hasn't he had his fair share of arm injury issues?

[DropkickAlex]

He has had TJS
