You're saying there is still some valuable free agents left?
1/24/07

I came across the article on MLB.com and honestly I was surprised of who was actually left on the free agent list. The article itself has an American Idol theme to it, which I wasn't too big on, so I'm going to put a FanIQ theme to it. Here's my top 5 remaining free agents in no order but where does everyone think they could end up?

1. Tony Armas Jr. RHP

His opening day age will be 28, still young. The only concern is lack of quality starts for Armas in his career. No complete games in 151 starts and averaging almost a half a earned run per inning. I look for the Rangers to possible pursue Armas after losing out on the Zito sweepstakes and losing Adam Eaton in the offseason.

2.Cliff Floyd, OF

A little low on the average side of the game with a .244 last season. His 11 HR and 44 RBI in only 97 games shows he still has the pop in his bat that most teams deeply need in their corner outfield. The Cubs seem to be my front runner here but don't count out the Mets resigning him.

3. Jeff Weaver, RHP

Let's be honest here, did anyone expect Weaver to pitch the way he did in last year's World Series? No, of course you didn't. I'm surprised he's still available honestly after that perform ace and if the Cardinals are smart they'll resign him.

4. Preston Wilson, OF

  The guy has a monster of a swing, too bad he can't hit the ball with it. No worries though, he's improving with 132 hits to 121 strikeouts last year. When healthy he is as productive as anyone in the league; .282 average, 36 home runs, and 141 RBI in 2003 with the Rockies. I'd like to see him back in Washington as a centerpiece of their lineup and it's close to his home in South Carolina.

5. Bernie Williams, OF

Ok, we all know Bernie's hay days are well behind him but his leadership and teamwork mentality are needed in every club house. Even as a Red Sox fan I have a soft spot in my heart for Bernie and honestly can't see him wearing anything other than pin stripes. Please Steinbrunner, for once do the right thing and let Bernie retire as a Yankee.

So there we have five free agents still available and still could make an impact on about any major league roster. As for my predictions, well I'm glad there are no FanIQ points being based on them because I am no "expert". How does everyone else see the later parts of free agency wrapping up?

Personally, I see the Mets resigning Floyd.  No idea with Armas.  Personally, I think Jeff Weaver is a fine pitcher as long as he is out of a big market...or in the NL.  As long as he stays with St. Louis, or another NL club, I think he'll be fine and definitely worth getting.  As for Bernie.  I can't see the Yankees re-signing him.  And honestly, I can't believe that he still wants to play.  He's just not good anymore.  It pains me when he's in the Yankees line-up.  I really think he should just hang 'em up.

Armas was once a promising rookie, at 28 he's still a valuable pitcher and I'm surprised he's still out there. I'm hearing rumors he may sign with the Pirates so there has to be something about him that I don't know that's keeping a lot of teams that could use a decent starter from going after him.
