The Blue Sox American League baseball team is going to enter the free-agent market over the winter to sign a new starting pitcher. They are considering five prospects who will enter the free-agent market. All five pitchers are in their mid-20s, have been in the major leagues for approximately 5 years, and have been relatively successful. The team's general manager has compiled a lot of information about the pitchers from scouting reports and their playing histories since high school. He has developed a chart projecting how many wins each pitcher will likely have during the next 10 years, given three possible future states of nature: the pitchers will be relatively injury free, they will have a normal career with injuries, or they will have excessive injuries, as shown in the following payoff table: Physical Condition
Pitcher No injuries Normal Excessive Injuries
Jose Diaz 153 122 76
Jerry Damon 173 135 46
Frank Thompson 133 115 88
Derek Rodriguez 105 101 95
Ken Griffin 127 98 75
