Quality free agents remain on the market

Pitchers and catchers have reported, full roster workouts begin tomorrow. However, several top names remain on the open market, enough to field a pretty decent team all on their own.

Starters

Bengie Molina, C - 2-time Gold Glove winner/2-time World Champion

Troy Glaus, 1B - 4-time All Star/World Series MVP/1-time World Champion

David Eckstein, 2B - 2-time All Star/World Series MVP/1-time World Champion

Joe Crede, 3B - 1-time Gold Glove winner/1-time World Champion

Bobby Crosby, SS - Rookie of the Year

Garret Anderson, LF - 3-time All Star/All Star Game MVP/1-time World Champion

Ryan Church, CF

Jermaine Dye, RF - 2-time All Star/1-time Gold Glove winner/1-time World Champion

Bench

Willy Aybar, 1B/2B/3B

Cristian Guzman, 2B/SS - 2-time All Star

Joe Inglett, 2B/LF/RF

Julio Lugo, 2B/SS/3B - 1-time World Champion

Jose Guillen, LF/RF

Starting Pitchers

Pedro Martinez, RHSP - 8-time All Star/3-time Cy Young Winner/1-time World Champion

Kevin Millwood, RHSP - 1-time All Star

Doug Davis, LHSP

Jeremy Bonderman, RHSP

Jamie Moyer, LHSP - 1-time All Star/1-time World Champion

Bullpen

Jarrod Washburn, LHRP - 1-time World Champion

Dustin Nippert, RHRP

Scot Shields, RHRP - 1-time World Champion

Bob Howry, RHRP

Bobby Seay, LHRP

Scott Shoeneweis, LHRP - 1-time World Champion

Brendan Donnelly, RHRP - 1-time All Star/1-time World Champion

Truth be told, a good many of these players are nearing the end of their playing days. More than likely, former All Stars like Pedro Martinez, Garret Anderson and Jamie Moyer are done. However, the fact that players like Troy Glaus, David Eckstein, Willy Aybar and Doug Davis haven't found jobs is surprising. It'll be interesting to see if a few of these guys find their way into a camp as Spring Training gets going and injuries begin to crop up.
