Best MLB Free Agent Signings So Far

With many of the big-name free agents signed, here are my favorite pickups so far (alphabetical):

Eric Bedard to the Pirates

Call me an optimist but I think this could work out great for the impoverished Pirates.

Jonathan Broxton to the Royals

$4 million seems a bit much, but the Royals know how to work a bullpen and Broxton’s stuff can be electric.

Mark Buehrle to the Marlins

Not only is he a great vet to have around those young arms, he helped pave the way for the later moves by showing the league the Marlins were serious this winter.

Aaron Hill to the Diamondbacks.

Loads of talent, could make the D’backs look really smart if he stays healthy.

Jason Marquis to the Twins

Twins haven’t done much this off-season, but Marquis looks like a low risk signing that could work very well.

Albert Pujols to the Angels

Massive addition, it can not be minimized what Albert’s patient bat will bring to that group of free swingers.

Kelly Shoppach to the Red Sox

Not a great bat, but a solid defensive catcher who can hit LH’s. He should mix well with Salty given his splits.
