34 is not old at all for a baseball player. You would've thrown Greg Maddux out on his ass.Lilly is old. I'd pass.

Regardless of whether or not the average baseball player typically begins to decline at this age, Lilly's finesse style of pitching makes him a less likely candidate for it. Unless you have some reason to believe he'll lose break and/or location.It is old. Greg Maddux is the exception, not the rule.
Baseball players start to decline around 32ish. Lilly is definitely starting to decline. Hell, even Maddux started to decline after his age 32 season.

You know i like Ted and hope he stays with dodgers or goes to a team that has a chance to win a World Series, because he works and keeps his mouth shut and doesn't complain and gets into fights with his manager.
