| Free Agents 2010 Free
Agent List |
Free Agent Headline Free
Agent Contract Anaylsis
Orlando Hudson signs
$5,000,000 contract with Minnesota Twins.
SPRO Analysis
Twins
get bargain in Hudson. It's a continual bargain bin sale for Major
League teams as they head toward spring training and snap up the
remaining free agents and the Twins got a good one in signing Hudson.
Boy, what a new baseball park won't do for your revenues. Just ask
those Twins fans at Target Field and their $95 million dollar roster.
SPRO projection $6,040,000 in 2010 and Hudson deserved a three year
contract.
Kevin Gregg signs
$2,750,000 contract with Toronto. Deal includes $4.5 million option for 2011 or $8.75 million two year option.
SPRO Analysis
Blue
Jays pay market value for Gregg. It's a bargain for one year and
market value including the option, but we'll say overall it's a good
market value deal. SPRO projection $3,538,000 in 2010 and a two year
contract worth $7,200,000.
Adam Kennedy signs
$1,250,000 contract with Washington, including $2,000,000 option for 2011.
SPRO Analysis
Nationals
get bargain in Kennedy. Overpay early, get bargains late. The
Nationals take part in the sale, getting Kennedy, potentially a plus
starter, for a backup player price. He's 34 years old, but coming off
one of his best years at Oakland. If he performs like that in
Washington, this is a great deal. SPRO projection $3,032,000 for one
year and $6,170,000 for two.
Yorvit Torrealba signs
$1,250,000 contract with San Diego, including $3,500,000 option for 2011.
SPRO Analysis
Padres
get bargain in Torrealba. It's slight, but still good.
Now pegged as a backup, Yorvit's SPRO was $1,707,000 for 2010.
Ryan Garko signs
$550,000 contract with performance incentives of $525,000 with Seattle Mariners.
SPRO Analysis
Mariners
get bargain in Garko. Garko had an off year in 2009, but is still only
29 years old and bound to rebound. SPRO projection $1,739,000.
Gabe Gross signs
$750,000 contract with Oakland that includes $250,000 in performance incentives.
SPRO Analysis
A's get
bargain in Gross. Yes, it's bargain basement time on the free agent
market as clubs troll the bottom to middle of the field were plus
backups or surprising rebounders. Gross is likely in the backup class,
but worth $1,317,000 in the SPRO projection model.
Melvin Mora signs
$1,300,000 contract with Colorado.
SPRO Analysis
Rockies
get bargain in Mora. Okay, he's old, 38 years old, but two seasons ago
in 2008 he was batting 0.285 with 25 HR and 83 RBI. Now that's a good
bargain, even if he can't get back to that plateau. But in Colorado,
even in these humidor days, it's possible. SPRO Projection $4,055,000.
Orlando Cabrera signs
$3,020,000 contract with Cincinnati Reds, including a mutual option for 2011.
SPRO Analysis
Reds
get bargain in Cabrera. Geez, what kind of love does it take for a
player with four straight years above 10.000 PEVA Rating to get a solid
contract. There seems to be a trend here for players who are older,
but still high in production that's a whole lot different than last
year with a player like Raul Ibanez. SPRO projection for Cabrera was
north of $8 million.
Fernando Tatis signs
$850,000 contract with New York Mets.
SPRO Analysis
Mets get bargain in Tatis. Geez, it's not like we're big Tatis fans
and we know he's not destined for a starting role this year unless
injuries hit the Mets again, but there's not a whole lot of love being
shown to Fernando after he stepped in so well in 2009. Well, that's
business for you. But the Mets are getting a bargain here even for a
reserve role. SPRO projection $2,251,000 in 2010.
Xavier Nady signs
$3,300,000 contract with Chicago Cubs with $2,050,000 in performance incentives.
SPRO Analysis
Rockies get bargain in Nady. The contract plus incentives number is
right on target as SPRO (including incentives) oted a salary of
$5,668,000, but it is a prudent bargain considering the injury plagued
season Nady had in 2009. But don't be surprised if Nady goes on to
have the best season of any Cubs outfielder.
Jose Contreras signs
$1,500,000 contract with Philadelphia.
SPRO Analysis
Phillies
pay market value for Contreras. We're not sure why Ruben Amaro is
collecting all seniors for his backup plans, unless there's some AARP
promotion at the park coming in 2010, but this contract is appropriate
for Contreras. SPRO projection $1,643,000.
Jason Giambi signs
$1,750,000 contract with Colorado.
SPRO Analysis
Rockies get bargain in Giambi. It's a slight bargain with SPRO at
$2,217,000, but Jason is likely a very good fit for this club as a
backup plan and reserve to Todd Helton.
