From the Boston Globe, a blurb at the end of this article caught my attention straight away. Looks like a certain former Dodgers pitcher might be looking to pull a Clemens:
Hideo Nomo and Mac Suzuki are eyeing a return to the major leagues. Nomo has been rehabilitating from elbow surgery in the Los Angeles area. According to his agent, Don Nomura, Nomo definitely wants to pitch again. “He’s a little bit away from a return, but not too far away,” said Nomura, who is also trying to get Suzuki a minor league deal. Suzuki, 31, last pitched for the Royals in 2002. Nomo, 38, last pitched for the Devil Rays in 2005.
So what do you think? Offer him a minor league deal? ;)
(And yes, the title is channeling Phil Collins.)

I say not at 38. In his last year with the Dodgers (’04), he had the highest ERA (8.25) in mlb history for a pitcher w/ 15+ decisions. ‘05 wasn’t much better (7.24). To channel Guns N’ Roses : I used to love him, but we had to release him (or grant him free agency)
