how does this compare to great NBA free agency of 2010?

word !!! Lbj, wade bosh, boozer, amare vs albert, and if sabathia declines which he wont.

It's not just Albert and CC. There is also Adrian Gonzalez, Fielder, Cano, Rollins, Wainwright. But I don't think it matches LBJ, Wade, Bosh, Amare etc.

I doubt CC, Cano, Wainwright reach the FA market. Yankees will exercise Cano's option, CC has said he isn't going to opt out, and Cards will most likely exercise Wainwrights deal. A decent amount of the 2nd tier players like Molina, Swisher, Sizemore, etc. have team options that are relatively cheap and will probably be picked up (assuming that website is correct). There is a large amount of talent in '12, but it probably won't look nearly as good by the time that off-season comes up. I don't think it compares to this years NBA free agency.

Wainwright won't be able to re-sign if the Cards hook up Pujols.

Adrian Gonzalez will be the most sought after FA once Albert stays in STL, then Cano.

That site says Wainwright has a '12 team option for 9 million, there's no reason why that option shouldn't be picked up. And Cano's team option will be picked up as well, so he isn't going to be on the market either.

Unless Wainwright shatters his arm into a billion pieces in the next year he won't be a free agent until after the 2013 season.
