Free Agents:

I'm somewhat encouraged by the potential number of free agents this year. One great way for clubs to keep costs down is to have a large supply of players to choose from. There are already over 100 players who have filed, and up to 180 can file this year. And there does appear to be some competition at positions. Just as an example, you have Thome and Olerud at first. Each would improve any number of ML teams. Then you have the "declining but still good" veteran pitchers, including Clemens, Glavine and Maddux. How many of these players remain with their former teams will certainly make a difference, but because there is more than just Bonds and Giambi out there, you might see teams making very good deals for players this winter.
