I noticed that after playing a season that there tends to be much more cheap pitching available during the offseason. I tend to look at a pitcher's age, past performance, control, leadership abilities, etc. During one replay, I took a shot on Tommy Hanson and signed him to a minor-league contract. He won 15 games, had an ERA under 3 and did pretty good for my big-league club until late in the season when he struggled.
