Free Agency Preview: Starting Pitchers

TOP STARTING PITCHER

Doug Minor is clearly the top SP in this year's FA market. Minor is a true ace. Over ten seasons Minor has compiled a record of 148-91, with an ERA of 3.47. Like some of the other free agents on the market, Minor's age is a concern. However, in ten seasons Minor has never made a trip to the disabled list. Minor is considered a true work horse, finishing only one season with under 200 innings.

Potential Suitors: Washington D.C., New Orleans, San Francisco, Albuquerque, Helena, Sioux Falls, Mexico City

Prediction: 5 years, $90 million

After Doug Minor, it's a pretty thin market for starting pitchers.

The market includes:

Mario Swift

Prediction: 4 years, $29 million

Jared Valent

Prediction: 2 years, $12 million

Matty Tracy

Prediction: 3 years, $20 million

Napoleon Scalici

Prediction: 3 years, $18 million

Omar Bolivar

Prediction: 2 years, $9 million

Brant Arnold

Prediction: 4 years, $24 million
