Free Agents ripe for picking
With names like Manny Ramirez, Garret Anderson, Orlando Hudson, Adam Dunn, Jason Varitek, Frank Thomas, Ivan Rodriguez, Nomar Garciaparra, Bobby Abreu, and Ken Griffey Jr. still without a team, the market is rich. Many teams would love to have these players, even if it were for but a year. The problem that I see so far is that many teams are just not willing to pay the price for these players. With that being the case, what happens to them?
Well, personally, I think that some of these guys have some good years left in them. Some can anchor a bench and be an opposing stick when called upon. Then there are some that it is just time to go out to pasture. With that said, the last thought is the one that none of the players what to hear or consider. Ultimately, they either fade away or they take lower income. The time has come to decide if you still want to play ball and make some money or sit and wait till someone will pay you the big money.
