Daily Gallery: Team MLB FA
November 29, 2012
As the winter continues, MLB free agency heats up to a fever pitch as teams battle to lock up the best talent available. We put together who, in our opinion, would make the best team strictly out of the FAs available.
Starting on the mound is 29-year-old righty Zack Greinke. After splitting last season between the Angels and Brewers, the Orlando, Fla. native is in for a big payday.
Starting in centre field is Josh Hamilton. The 31 year old has been one of the league’s best players overall since breaking out in 2008 with Texas, but the question marks surrounding his past substance addictions continue to circle him. Nevertheless, he his a serious five-tool all-star and he will get a big contract, guaranteed.
Starting in right field is Nick Swisher. A Yankees fixture for four years, the big smiling Columbus, OH. native has hit at least 20 home runs every season in the MLB since 2005. The question of how much he is worth exactly is a polarizing one.
Starting in left field is Michael Bourn. A base-stealing and defensive machine, Bourn has had over 40 stolen bases every season since 2008. His nine homers last year for Atlanta were a career high.
Starting at first base is Adam LaRoche. The eight-year veteran hit career highs in homers last season with 33 and RBIs with 100. He was a big part of Washington’s run to the playoffs and could be a very nice addition to any team needing instant offence.
Starting at second base is Kelly Johnson. The Texas-born 30 year old burst out of the gates last season for the Blue Jays, but slowed down as injuries caught up with him. He plays a serviceable second while possessing a bigger bat than most that play the position, reaching double-digits in homers in five of his seven major-league seasons.
Starting at third base is Brandon Inge. It really was a toss-up who to start at third as the position really is not very deep in the free agent pool, so we went with the former Tiger and Athletic. A veteran presence in the clubhouse, Inge still hit 12 homers last season despite dealing with shoulder injuries. Other options include Ty Wigginton, and Kevin Youkilis.
Starting at shortstop is Marco Scutaro. The veteran Venezuelan hit .362 while helping the San Francisco Giants to the World Series after starting the year in Colorado. He’s a master at getting on base and can play serviceable defence. Whoever gets him will have a good bargain on their hands.
Starting at catcher is Russell Martin. The 29-year-old Montreal native hit over 20 homers last season for the first time in his career for the Yankees and is arguably the most sought-after backstop on the market.
Starting at designated hitter is Mike Napoli. Naturally a catcher, the 31-year-old Floridian has hit over 20 home runs every year since 2008. He really broke out in 2011 for Texas hitting .320 with 30 HR and 75 RBI, but had a bit of a letdown last year. Nevertheless, he will find a lucrative home somewhere.
