Upcoming Free Agent 1B
Posted: Wed Apr 2, 2008 1:03 am
First basemen
Ben Broussard (32)
Sean Casey (34)
Tony Clark (37)
Carlos Delgado (37) - $16MM mutual option for '09 with a $4MM buyout
Nomar Garciaparra (35)
Jason Giambi (38) - $22MM club option for '09 with a $5MM buyout
Scott Hatteberg (39)
Eric Hinske (31)
Doug Mientkiewicz (35)
Kevin Millar (37)
Richie Sexson (34)
Mark Teixeira (29)
Obviously looking at this list there is really only one guy here that would make a huge impact in Teixeria, he would command a huge contract as Boras is his agent and he has skill.
Other names that somewhat intrigue me is Nomar mainly because I was always a fan of his and the fact he hits for average. With Beltran and Wright as the power hitters I feel that he could be a good guy for us.
However the point is that Delgado dont seem to be the player he once was and its time to come to grips with it. However with the bear free agent market for first basemen we might need to look for one via trade.
