The Unemployed Free Agency Team

Floating around in the netherworld of free agency are a plethora of valuable players, many who could be had at Wal-Mart-like prices. How good are these players? Let's build a 25-man roster of free agency players and use their CHONE-based projected 2010 WARs (for hitters, playing time weighted BRAR+FRAR+Positional+Replacement) to find out.

C-Rod Barajas (+1.9)
C-Yorvit Torrealba (+1.0)
1B-Carlos Delgado (+1.0)
2B-Adam Kennedy (+1.0)
SS-Felipe Lopez (+1.3 as SS/+2.2 as 2B)
3B-Russell Branyan (+3.3 as 3B/+2.4 as 1B)
MI-Rich Aurilia (-0.5)
CI-Joe Crede (+2.1)
LF-Jonny Gomes (+1.0)
CF-Johnny Damon (+3.1 as CF/+3.2 as RF/LF)
RF-Rocco Baldelli (+1.6)
OF-Garrett Anderson (+0.5)
DH-Jermaine Dye (+1.0)
TOTAL = +16.8 WAR

SP-Chien-Ming Wang (+2.5)
SP-Jarrod Washburn (+1.8)
SP-John Smoltz (+2.5)
SP-Erik Bedard (+2.4)
SP-Pedro Martinez (+1.5)
RP-Kiko Calero
RP-Russ Springer
RP-Joe Beimel
RP-Chad Bradford
RP-Chan Ho Park
RP-Will Ohman
CL-Mike MacDougal

24 hours ago, before Orlando Hudson (+2.2) signed, this team would have looked much better.
