Freddy Guzman, Josh Towers Elect Free Agency

Freddy Guzman and Josh Towers were outrighted by the Yankees and elected free agency, according to Chad Jennings of The Journal News.  Towers would've been arbitration-eligible.

Guzman, 29 in January, hit .223/.272/.294 in 381 plate appearances for four Triple A teams this year.  Towers, 33 in February, posted a 3.05 ERA in 103.3 Triple A innings for two clubs.

The only guy here i can expect to see getting a spot on any team is Freddy Guzman and thats because of his wheels late in the game. Any team can pick him up on a cheap as hell minor league deal just for his speed and utilize him similar to how the Yankees did. He becomes a key piece on any postseason team due to this.

Guzman could simply be a late game defensive replacement on certain teams. Besides his speed and ability to run down balls he doesn't offer much.

Towers could be a good back of the rotation signing for a team. He pitched well in the minors that may translate into some success back in the majors again.
