Don't give up on Mulder yet, he was AL Cy Yound runner-up in 2001 and was a leading candidate for AL Cy Young in 2004 for the A's before completely falling apart in his last few September starts. Mulder was always very insistent on working deep into games, which is probably why he is having shoulder issues now. Hopefully La Russa will cut him off at 95-100 pitches or 7 innings, whichever comes first, every start once Mulder heals.
Actually, according to Schilling, if Clemens was on steroids and should give up his 2001 Cy Young, then Mulder would be the de facto winner.
