CC Sabathia

Mark Teixeira

Manny Ramirez

Francisco Rodriguez

A. J. Burnett

Jake Peavy

Derek Lowe

Brian Fuentes

Ryan Dempster

Rafael Furcal

Pat Burrell

CC wants to be on the West Coast. I'm thinking the Dodgers will overpay him. Is his arm the same after the overuse he experienced in Milwaukee?

Tex gets big money from the Yankees.

The Mets will jump on K-Rod and be sorry later.

A. J. might go to the Yankees, too. They've got a new playpen for him.

Peavy? I have no clue. Probably will stay in the N. L., though.

Lowe? Yankees or Mets, maybe? (Does any team get to play other than the Yankees or Mets??)

I heard during the season that the Cards wanted Fuentes. Hope they don't overpay.

Dempster will say in Chicago. Why not?

And Furcal will stay in LA.

Burrell is from the West Coast (I think). Why would he want to play for the Giants? Dodgers already have plenty of outfielders. Anaheim? What does Vlad's contract look like? Burrell strikes out too much to DH....

CC Sabathia - Yankees: They will offer him the biggest contract

Mark Teixeira - Yankees: Seems like a good fit

Manny Ramirez - Phillies: Not sure about this one, but possibly

Francisco Rodriguez - Mets: They need a closer, and they are willing to pay

A. J. Burnett - Texas: Not sure about this one, Texas needs pitching, they probably can't afford Burnett though

Jake Peavy - Astros: Not sure why, but I like this fit

Derek Lowe - Yankees: They may need another decent starter

Brian Fuentes - Tigers: They need a closer, he should be much cheaper than Francisco Rodriguez

Ryan Dempster - Cubs: Seems right

Rafael Furcal - Dodgers: They will need a shortstop, and he would like to return

Pat Burrell - Mets: They need a power hitting corner outfielder

What does Vlad's contract look like?

The Angels got him for one more year at $15 million(club option).

I call big-market bias! Ben Sheets isn't on your list of big name free agents.

That one is easy. The Disabled List.

As for the rest. Here are my best guesses. I added Dunn to the list.

CC Sabathia- Yankees. Obviously need another starter and will offer the most money.

Mark Teixeira- Angels. They traded Kotchman to get him and really have no other option except Kendry Morales.

Manny Ramirez- Dodgers. What would an off-season be without the Dodgers adding another horrible contract?

Francisco Rodriguez- Rangers. This is just a wild guess as I don't think the Mets will bite and can't think of another team that needs a closer.

A. J. Burnett- Toronto. They will extend him.

Jake Peavy- Atlanta. It'd be a mistake though. They are more than 1 starter away from being competitive. That said, I only think he goes to Atlanta if he is traded. Ultimately, I think he will stay with San Diego.

Derek Lowe- Red Sox. It's his preferred destination and they could add another starter.

Brian Fuentes- Mets. I don't think the Mets will bite on Rodriguez.

Ryan Dempster- Cubs. He might give a hometown discount.

Rafael Furcal- Dodgers. He wants to return. Dodgers want him back.

Pat Burrell- Blue Jays. They could use a power bat.

Adam Dunn- Yankees. He could play 1B, be a cheaper solution than Teixeira in years and salary.
