Season 11 Free Agency Preview

It's time to kick off coverage of the season 11 Winter Meetings in Canseco. First off, the free agency preview!!






TOP POSITION PLAYERS


If you're looking to acquire a big time impact bat for your line up, look no further. Willis Coleman can do it all. Willis hits for average, power, and can even steal 30+ bases a year. At 32, his age is a bit of a concern, however we don't expect that to stop him from becoming the highest paid position player this off season.

Potential Suitors: New Orleans, New York, Washington DC, Hartford, Mexico City, Albuquerque, Helena.

Prediction: 5 years, $80 million




Charles "Big Chuck" Hemphill is the top 3B on the market. Hemphill is known for his gold glove caliber defense over at 3B. After putting up a career year with the bat, ( .336, 27 HR's, 105 RBI's) Hemphill looks to cash in at this year's winter meetings.

Potential Suitors: Boston, Washington D.C, Helena, Albuquerque.

Prediction: 4 years, $38 million





Felipe Navarro is by far the youngest high profile free agent. At 28, most scouts feel that Felipe has his best years ahead of him. Navarro has not missed a game since season 8.


Potential Suitors: Boston, Washington D.C., Helena, Atlanta, Albuquerque, Durham, Cincinnati


Prediction: 5 years, $40 million




Kyle Briggs might be the biggest power threat in this years FA class. Briggs has averaged almost 38 HR's a year in his 8 season career. Like Coleman, Brigg's age is a bit of a concern, however we don't see that stopping him from getting a lucrative contract this off season.


Potential Suitors: Durham, Helena, Washington D.C., Tampa Bay, Boston, Cincinnati, Florida, Hartford


Prediction: 3 years, $20 million



Potential Steals:


Miguel Rivera


Jacob Sasaki


Todd McIntyre


Donatello Guerrero


Yorvit Reyes


Justin Campbell

Free agency is a crucial part of the off season and signing a key free agent could potentially make or break your season. Which position players will cash in big this off season?? We will find out shortly.
