Better to buy bats in FA than pitching. Bradley being the exception here recently but it is far better economically to buy a bat in FA than it is for pitching as there are usually multiple options that fall into the Brewers price range. Pitching on the other hand you are looking at guys like Anderson, Lohse and Suppan. While some work out Anderson and Lohse were successes you are normally going to get Looper, Suppan and Garza types. Best to stay away from the starting pitching market in FA unless you can get someone that is undervalued like Anderson and Chacin and you can do it for a short-term contract 1-2 years.
