2011 Fantasy Baseball Preview
Free Agents

Aside from a handful of star players, this year's free agent class is hardly exciting.  Sure, Carl Crawford, Jayson Werth, and Adam Dunn are certainly some impact bats, but no position other than first base displays any real depth.  On the pitching side, all signs are pointing toward Cliff Lee playing for his fifth different team in three years.  Although he is a dominant game-changing free agent, there's a pretty large drop off since most teams consider Jorge De La Rosa and his 4.22 ERA and 1.32 WHIP as the second-best option.
