Re: Free Agents Frenzy Starts here
Cleveland has some very nice players, it seems.
And Cincinnati has apparently been contracted.
Bummer.

Clearly they've merged the two Ohio teams. Are we both the Ohio Buckeyes? North & south? Has anyone told Chip? Why isn't he a free agent?
Re: Free Agents Frenzy Starts here
Let's go ahead and take Cleveland's best players.
It's not like their fan would notice.

We should thank them just for including any of the teams besides the Red Sox and Yankees. Now, if someone could communicate that there are 27 to 28 other teams to MLB Network and ESPN.

Balfour I believe had his option grabbed
Re: Free Agents Frenzy Starts here
Shields' option was picked up as well.
Re: Free Agents Frenzy Starts here
Actually, I think the MLB network does a great job of covering all the teams. It's ESPN that has that ridiculous bias. Well Fox too I guess.
Re: Free Agents Frenzy Starts here
Wouldn't mind the Reds kicking the tires on Scott Podsednik. He's getting up there in age but would be decent outfielder and is a lefty who's career splits are fairly even: .275 against LH, .282 against RH. Wouldn't cost much either.
Re: Free Agents Frenzy Starts here
Does anyone feel that this is the weakest list of free agents we've seen in years? Nobody really jumps out at me. Many guys are just names and are old.

Greinke and Hamilton will attract some attention. Maybe there isn't huge starpower, but I see the potential for a lot of depth in this FA class...

There could be some depth players there but I do see a lot of lateral moves, in my opinion. I don't see a lot of players on this list that make a ball club significantly better. I think the middle infield free agents are particularly weak this year.
