Remember when Oakland had the Big Three? Tim Hudson, Barry Zito, and the often forgotten Mark Mulder? Well, for now, you should completely forget about Mark Mulder. The Cardinals have activated him from the 15-day Prior List, and are inserting him into a role he has never had before. They are moving him to the pen. There is no indication that he will be in the mix for saves, and with a 6.55 ERA in the minors, he isn’t likely to be effective in the bigs. If you were thinking about taking a flier on Mulder, don’t.
This isn’t to say that Mulder can’t turn it around at some point, but he isn’t going to do it overnight. Hopefully he can figure it out, and return to form. Mulder is a good guy and here at The Sports Idiot we are pulling for him. He has the right attitude, and it willing to do what he can to help his team. Injuries derailed his career back in 2006, and he only started three games in 2007, all three of which he took the L in.
