ESPN's Jerry Crasnick looks at the prominent remaining free agents in his column today. He goes position-by-position, outlining who's out there and which teams might be looking. If you enjoy playing free agent matchmaker, it's a must-read. Crasnick's main point: "Roster spots are like gold, and dozens of players with legitimate aspirations are being forced to downsize their expectations."
I’d love the Twins to toss one $3m contract out there and take the first of those 2b candidate to reach for it. Then if Baldelli or Edmonds doesn’t find a taker I’d like them to pick either up as the 4th OF/PH. Either should be able to fake CF enough to back up Span and he’d put that much more distance between Jason Pridie and Target Field. (EDIT: I assume those OF will make more than the $1-2m I’d give them, but if they drop through…)
