2008 MLB Free Agents

Presenting…your 2008 free agent class.

I’ve categorized them by position; the player’s 2008 age is in parentheses.  Also Type A or B status is included; otherwise there’s no compensation.  If I saw someone as a possibility at more than one position I put them at both.  I’ll keep this post updated throughout the offseason and make it a permanent sidebar link.
