A Little Traveling Music, Please?
Surviving Grady —
... Yesterday, more than half of the eligible players jumped into the magic waters of free agency, like a horde of shoppers barreling down the halls of WalMart on Black Friday to grab the last Tickle Me Jim Croce. ...

Off the top of my head in terms of "would I sign them-a-bilitiy": yes, yes, no, no, yes, no and (regretfully) no. In making that judgment I'm assuming that they'll get roughly what they're really worth as opposed to finding someone to overpay them. Ankiel could be useful if he doesn't demand too much dough. DeRosa isn't as valuable as everyone likes to think he is, but he's solid and versatile. Holliday is a ...
