Top FA LF

  1. Bud Sobolewski (signed w/Cleveland; 3 years/$15.0M)
    While clearly being in the twilight of his career, Bud sure can play. He's going to put the ball in play consistently while hitting it hard. He's got some power. He's got a great eye. He's slow and not the greatest defender, but it is easy to forgive that weakness when he puts up .304/.394/.472. He's going to be a tremendous signing for whoever gets him.
  2. Ross Anderson (signed w/Montgomery; 3 years/$15.6M)
    He sees the ball really well against both LHP and RHP, while not striking out much either. He's got some power. He's got a great eye and he's an excellent baserunner. His defense is definitely below average. He's slow, but durable. He's a good hitter, putting up .325/.397/.524 for his career.
  3. Wendell Matusz (signed w/Charleston; 1 year/$1.6M)
    Absolutely horrendous on defense, he's lucky he plays LF. He is definitely not going to strike out much. He's got some power, to go along with a decent eye. He hits RHP better than LHP, although not that much better. He' s got above average speed. He's not all that durable, so he will need some rest.
