Perrotto’s Latest: Top 20 Remaining Free Agents

John Perrotto’s latest Every Given Sunday column at Baseball Prospectus takes a look at the top 20 remaining free agents (sorted by WARP3 – Wins Above Replacement Player) and offers destination predictions and top suitors (or lack thereof in some cases) for each one. For those without a BP subscription, here’s a quick summary:

• Manny Ramirez – Dodgers
• Orlando Cabrera – Athletics
• Derek Lowe – Braves/Mets/Cubs
• Adam Dunn – Nationals
• Bobby Abreu – Reds
• Ben Sheets – Rangers
• Orlando Hudson – Nationals
• Andy Pettitte – Astros (at less than $10MM)
• Jason Varitek – Red Sox (at less than $10MM)
• Ty Wigginton – Astros
• Ivan Rodriguez – Not much of a market, may have to take a minor-league deal with an invite to Spring Training if he’s not signed soon. Could he end up involuntarily retired, a la Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, and Mike Piazza?
• Kevin Millar – Orioles
• Mark Grudzielanek – Padres
• Braden Looper – Brewers
• Garret Anderson, Eric Hinske, Ray Durham, Jim Edmonds, Paul Byrd, Odalis Perez – All of them (with the exception of Byrd, who may retire) are drawing little to no interest and may be without a club on Opening Day.
