Top 20 Free Agents This Off-Season

Here is my personal list of the Top 20 Free Agents available this off-season. I use the same rankings that I use for the Top 100 Prospect list that will be coming out shortly. Starting pitchers have a stamina above 60, while relievers are below. Also position players who are better at defense, but might have an average bat, tend to be ranked higher than those who suck at defense but can absolutely rake. Also this list doesn't do a good job of predicting compensation as compensation tends to be weighted towards stamina/durability/health.

1. T.J. Hernandez, SP
2. Dario Yamaguchi, SP
3. Doug Buck, CF
4. Rafael Torres, SP
5. Reggie Alexander, 3B
6. David Murray, SP (though durability wise might be limited to long relief.)
7. Matthew Riggs, SP
8. Ismael Franco, RF
9. Ebenezer Lecroy, SP
10. Scott Black, SS
11. Jermaine Mitchell, SP
12. Lou Porter, SP
13. Brendan Smart, RP
14. Giovanni Lemon, SP
15. Wes Turner, SS
16. Vic Vazquez, 3B
17. Martin Lee, SP
18. Buddy Overbay, C
19. Geronimo Valdes, SP
20. Micah Regan, LF


Best Pure Hitter: Bucky Truman, 1B
