After vigorous consultation with my staff of trained monkeys, I've submitted my picks for Baseball Primer's Second Annual Free-Agent Fiesta in order to defend my title as the Best Pickinest Free-Agent Guesser of the Internet. The monkeys have been been busy, tirelessly working the phones with baseball's front-office people and blackmailing Peter Gammons with incriminating photos of him employing his Burroughsian cut-up method of sentence construction. This list would not be possible without their hard work:
Jim Thome -- CLE
Greg Maddux -- ATL
Jeff Kent -- LA
Tom Glavine -- ATL
Ivan Rodriguez -- CHC
Roger Clemens -- NYY
Cliff Floyd -- BOS
John Olerud -- SEA
Jamie Moyer -- PHI
Steve Finley -- TEX
Paul Byrd -- CHC
Edgardo Alfonzo -- SFG
Frank Thomas -- BAL
Woody Williams -- HOU
David Justice -- retirement
Bill Mueller -- SFG
Ramiro Mendoza -- PHI
Tom Gordon -- TEX
Todd Hollandsworth -- ATL
Omar Daal -- DET
Disclaimer: this list is for entertainment purposes only and is not intended for use by general managers, player agents, or professional gamblers. Improper use may cause irritation if taken literally. If a rash of stupid free-agent signings occurs, consult J.P. Ricciardi for instructions on how to dump salary.
