Cliff Lee

Phillies

5

120.00

9.00

Phillies' coup just pushed Cole Hamels to a fourth starter.

2

Carl Crawford

Red Sox

7

142.00

10.00

The prize position player of the free agent class. Crawford will turn 30 next August and scored 110 runs ad drove in 90.

3

Mariano Rivera

Yankees

2

30.00

15.00

Unlike Derek Jeter, Rivera is still performing a premium level. He's a bargain at $15 million. What a classy guy.

4

Jayson Werth

Nationals

7

126.00

7.50

Werth is coming off career highs in slugging and OPS, and turns 32 in May. But Nats will regret this one by 2014.

5

Victor Martinez

Tigers

4

50.00

7.70

Terrific signing for 2011 and 2012, but Tigers will regret the last two years of this deal, especially if they don't win now.

6

Rafael Soriano

Yankees

3

35.00

7.25

Has proven to be an elite closer when healthy. We had him valued at three years, $37 million — as a closer.

7

Adam Dunn

White Sox

4

56.00

12.00

It will be interesting to see how Dunn accepts a full-time DH role.

8

Paul Konerko

White Sox

3

37.50

12.00

Konerko, Dunn and Carlos Quentin won't provide much defense, but they'll be mashing all summer.

9

Adrian Beltre

Rangers

5

80.00

9.00

The career .275 hitter has topped .300 twice: .334 in 2004 and .321 in 2010, both contract years. Rangers beware.

10

Derek Jeter

Yankees

3

51.00

22.60

Jeter is no longer an elite player — offensively or defensively. But these negotiations were all about saving face.

11

Vladimir Guerrero

Orioles

1

8.00

5.50

Looks and acts like he's 39.While $8 million seems above market, $3 million is deferred.

12

Aubrey Huff

Giants

2

22.00

3.00

The poster child for bargains in San Francisco just cashed in big.

13

Carlos Peña

Cubs

1

10.00

10.13

Averaged dipped below the Mendoza Line, but he's excellent defensively and still drives in runs. His average will rebound.

14

Hiroki Kuroda

Dodgers

1

12.00

15.43

Seems to lose games even when putting up decent numbers. Will stay on the West Coast.

15

Jake Westbrook

Cardinals

2

16.00

11.00

Pitching coach Dave Duncan has always been enamored with this guy.

16

Carl Pavano

Twins

2

16.50

7.00

After a disaster signing with the Yankees in 2005, Pavano led the AL with seven complete games in 2010.

17

Joaquin Benoit

Tigers

3

16.50

He was an integral piece in the Rays' bullpen. May end up closing for Detroit.

18

Magglio Ordoñez

Tigers

1

10.00

17.80

Has made just shy of $82 million over the past five years. Now reality will set in.

19

Derrek Lee

Orioles

1

8.00

13.25

All significant offensive numbers dropped in 2010 — except whiffs and grounded into double plays.

21

Orlando Hudson

Padres

2

11.50

5.00

O-Dog was an All-Star and won a Gold Glove for the Dodgers in 2009. But his salary topped out at $6.25 mil in 2008.

23

Manny Ramirez

Rays

1

2.00

18.70

Manny brings a potent bat to the Rays' lineup when his head's on straight.

24

Johnny Damon

Rays

1

5.25

8.00

Damon has a string of 15 seasons of at least 140 games. The Rays were the only team offering steady playing time.

25

Hideki Matsui

A's

1

4.25

6.00

Swing has slowed down and Oakland is not a good park for him.

26

Brad Hawpe

Padres

1

3.00

7.50

From 06-09 he averaged .288-25-93 with a .902 OPS. At 32, he can find his stroke again, but better suited for the AL.

27

John Buck

Marlins

3

18.00

2.00

Swatted 20 homers, but walked just 16 times. Doubtful he can maintain his .281 average.

28

Jorge de la Rosa

Rockies

2

21.50

5.60

Should pitch himself into bigger money in a few years.

29

Juan Uribe

Dodgers

3

21.00

3.25

Although he doesn't look the part, he's above average at three infield positions and is cool in the clutch.

30

Scott Downs

Angels

3

15.00

4.00

Lefties hit .152 last season and righties (.243) weren't much better.

31

Jose Contreras

Phillies

2

5.00

1.50

White Sox and Rockies thought he was done, but Phillies found a role as a setup man. The third year is a team option.

32

Ramon Hernandez

Reds

1

3.00

3.00

Both Hernandez and the Reds happy to repeat last year's deal and production.

33

Miguel Tejada

Giants

1

6.50

6.00

Declining skills but showed he could still play a little short. Tejada was Giants' next option after Uribe.

34

Jon Garland

Dodgers

1

5.00

4.70

Provides a veteran presence for the Dodgers' staff. The big ballpark is perfect for him.

35

Jhonny Peralta

Tigers

2

10.75

4.85

Strong second half gave Tigers confidence he can still contribute. The third year is a team option for $6 million.

36

Jim Thome

Twins

1

3.00

1.50

The 40-year-old's OPS of 1.039 was stellar, but almost .400 higher against right-handed pitching.

37

Brian Fuentes

A's

2

10.00

9.00

Pretty good deal for the A's as Billy Beane attepts to bolster his bullpen.

39

Lyle Overbay

Pirates

1

5.00

7.95

Overbay has a three-year average of .259-17-67, which is below average for a first baseman.

40

Jon Rauch

Blue Jays

1

3.50

2.90

May not be a closer, but can be an intimidating presence on the mound. A bargain at $3.5 mil.

41

Austin Kearns

Indians

1

1.30

0.75

Made $8 million in 2009. Doubtful he'll see that number again.

43

Frank Francisco

Rangers

1

3.63

Accepted arbitration, so negotiations must be close.

44

Arthur Rhodes

Rangers

1

3.90

2.00

Turned 41 in October, but he was instrumental in Reds' division title in 2010.

45

Lance Berkman

Cardinals

1

8.00

14.50

Cardinals' outfield defense could be atrocious.

46

Marcus Thames

Dodgers

1

1.00

0.90

His five-year 162-game average is .254-33-83. He's coming off career highs in average and OBP.

47

Grant Balfour

A's

2

8.00

2.05

The Australian with the unfortunate surname was a key part of both of the Rays' division titles.

50

Matt Guerrier

Dodgers

3

12.00

3.15

Can pitch every day, but three-year deal is risky.

51

Edgar Renteria

Reds

1

2.00

10.00

Talked of retirement. The everyday grind wears on him, but he's a good fit with Paul Janish.

52

Koji Uehara

Orioles

1

3.00

5.00

Performed well in the closer role down the stretch.

53

Pat Burrell

Giants

1

1.00

9.00

Pat the Bat became Pat the Whiff in the postseason, but may be the best value of the offseason.

54

Javier Vazquez

Marlins

1

7.00

11.50

The durable Vazquez started 327 games from 2000-09, winning 128 with more than 2,000 strikeouts.

57

Jesse Crain

White Sox

3

13.00

2.00

It seems half of his appearances have been in extra innings.Sox pen needs a lot of help.

58

Adam LaRoche

Nationals

2

16.00

6.00

Nats must have patience with notorious slow starter.

59

Miguel Olivo

Mariners

2

7.00

2.00

Can throw, is durable and but won't display 20-home run power in Seattle.

60

Pedro Feliciano

Yankees

2

8.00

2.90

Tough on lefties, but can't get righthanders out.

61

Kerry Wood

Cubs

1

1.50

10.50

Wood took a 90% pay cut.

62

Chris Capuano

Mets

1

1.50

Missed all of 2008-09, but five of six starts in September were solid. Will enjoy pitching at Citi Field.

63

Chris Young

Mets

1

1.50

6.38

He could earn $4.5 million if he meets all his incentives; would be a sweet deal for Mets who desperately need pitching.

64

Kevin Gregg

Orioles

2

10.00

2.00

In four seasons as full-time closer he's averaged 30 saves, closing 82%, with a 1.295 WHIP and 3.79 ERA.

66

Jason Frasor

Blue Jays

1

2.65

Accepted arbitration and will combine with Rauch and Dotel for setup/closer trio.

67

Jeff Francoeur

Royals

1

2.50

5.00

Kansas City may be the last chance to revive his career.

68

Ty Wigginton

Rockies

2

8.00

3.50

Made 86 starts at first, 36 at second and 19 at third; hit 22 homers.

69

Yorvit Torrealba

Rangers

2

6.25

0.75

Too much gets by him, but he can still throw a little and he hit .271 last season.

70

Bruce Chen

Royals

1

2.00

Yes, he's still in the league, and it was Chen — not Greinke — who led the Royals with 12 wins.

71

Vicente Padilla

Dodgers

1

2.00

5.03

Started Game 2 and Game 5 for the Dodgers in the 2009 NLCS as well as Opening Day 2010; now he's a sixth starter.

73

Andruw Jones

Yankees

1

2.00

0.50

Anything left in the tank? Ha has another million-plus in incentives, so we say there is. Good deal for Yankees.

74

Jerry Hariston

Nationals

1

2.00

2.13

Nice "intangibles" player. Will help the Nats.

75

Cesar Izturis

Orioles

1

1.50

2.60

Can pick it at short, but gets the bat knocked out of his hands.

76

Dan Wheeler

Red Sox

1

3.00

3.50

With a sub-1.00 WHIP over the past three seasons, the right-handed Wheeler is tough on lefties.

77

Dennys Reyes

Phillies

1

1.10

2.00

Hard to believe he's only 34 in April. A classic lefty-only guy.

79

Rich Harden

A's

1

1.50

6.50

Easy risk for the A's.

81

Jeff Francis

Royals

1

2.00

82

Rick Ankiel

Nationals

1

1.50

1.00

0.70

Minor league deal for aging pinch hitter.

84

Brandon Webb

Rangers

1

3.00

8.50
