Francisco Liriano?s new two-year, $14 million contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates headlined Friday's flurry of starting pitcher signings, but there were three other interesting and noteworthy players who reached minor league agreements with new teams and accepted invitations to spring training.
Rich Harden, Scott Kazmir and Jeremy Bonderman have all achieved varying degrees of success in the big leagues ?�though none of them reached a consistent level of dominance that many believed they were capable ?�before injuries and ineffectiveness teamed up to put their careers in a holding pattern. Now all three of them will attempt to reclaim a spot in a major league rotation, or at least earn a prominent role, during what could have been a prime year in their careers.
Here's a quick look at where the hopeful "comeback kids" have landed, and what their chances, if any, might be to achieve their goal again.
