Mike Napoli to the Rangers. The number of remaining MLB free agents that could be expected to make even a limited contribution this year is dwindling (even these guys have major question marks):
- Travis Wood
- Matt Wieters
- Adam Lind
- Colby Lewis
- Aaron Hill
- Coco Crisp
- Doug Fister
- Joe Blanton
- Pedro Alvarez
Then there are a bunch of guys, who at one time were solid players (Luke Hochevar, Marlon Byrd, Billy Butler, Matt Harrison, Jarrod Parker, CJ Wilson), but are coming off injuries or just really horrible seasons.
Then, you have the old guys that can't give it up (Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jonathan Papelbon, Tim Lincecum, Jered Weaver), but appear to be done.
Byrd picked up his second PED suspension last year - he's done.
Utley had a decent season overall and can still probably produce, though he tapered off in the second half. I'd be surprised if he doesn't catch on somewhere in a platoon situation.
