 Braden Looper-S- BrewersJan. 28 - 8:55 pm et
The Mets are "looking at" 35-year-old free agent right-hander Braden Looper, according to Jayson Stark of ESPN.com.
Let's hope they view him as a last resort. Looper compiled a 14-7 record last season, but he did it with a 5.22 ERA, a 1.49 WHIP and just 100 strikeouts in 194-plus innings. He is not a difference maker and has drawn very little interest this winter. The Mets would be better of with John Smoltz or even Chien-Ming Wang, two guys they are also reportedly targeting.

 Vicente Padilla-S - Dodgers Jan. 14 - 9:26 am et  

Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports that the Dodgers have recently contacted the agents of free agent right-handers Joel Pineiro, Vicente Padilla, Braden Looper and Jon Garland.
Dodgers owners Frank and Jamie McCourt are engaged in heated divorce proceedings, which has added some uncertainty to the club's budget limitations this offseason. The Dodgers have some obvious holes in their rotation at this time, so they should aim to sign at least one of the four. Padilla and Garland both pitched well down the stretch with the team last season.

 Braden Looper-S - Brewers Dec. 7 - 8:28 pm et

Free agent right-hander Braden Looper told FOXSports.com on Monday that he would like to pitch for the Cubs in 2010.
"That would be appealing," he said. "You've got to see what your options are. I don't know if they're looking for a starting pitcher, since they have a new owner. But I'm living in Chicago, and I've got three kids in school here, so that would be nice." Looper went 14-7 with a 5.22 ERA in 34 starts this year. It's not clear if the Cubs want him, but he should come cheap.

 Braden Looper-S - Brewers Nov. 13 - 1:04 pm et

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, the Brewers have declined RHP Braden Looper's $6.5 million option for 2010.
Looper posted a career-high 14 wins in 2009, but a quick glance under the surface reveals some troubling stats. His 5.22 ERA was a career-worst and he struck out just 100 batters in 194 2/3 innings of work. The right-hander was given a $1 million buyout to take his services elsewhere.

The Brewers have until Saturday to make a decision on Braden Looper's $6.5 million mutual option for 2010.
The Brewers can either exercise the option or hand him a $1 million buyout. Looper, 35, earned a career-high 14 wins in 2009, but posted a 5.22 ERA in 194 2/3 innings. He also led the majors in home runs allowed.
