Cards also signed Fowler, forfeiting their 1st round pick because of the QO...smart on their part so the Astros don't get another first rounder.
klaw's list this year was especially suspect.
So is last year's NL co-HR champ going to be stuck playing in Japan or what?
Carter has said that he wants to and will play in MLB. The Rays seems to be the team with the most rumored interest. Realize that his game has flaws, but the lack of interest in a player that hit 41 HRs the year before is a surprise. Power was the thing a few years ago; now, it's well-rounded players that can run and play defense.
Lots of decent FAs left - Napoli, Carter, Wieters, Hammel, Colby Lewis, Doug Fister, Desmond Jennings, Jake Peavy, a ton of RP arms - all have warts, but lots of plug and play guys out there that could be had cheap.
I think it just has a lot to do with the glut of options on the market driving down prices. Most teams filled their needs already. So cheap teams (ie Rays) are just waiting it out and bargain hunting.
Explain. Also, what list did you like best?
