Unemployed Ballplayers

In about a week and half, MLB teams start reporting for Spring Training.

Right now, there are some really good players still unsigned.  According to Buster Olney, pitchers available are starters Ervin Santana, Ubaldo Jimenez, Pat Maholm, Joe Saunders, and Bronson Arroyo.  Out of the bullpen comes Fernando Rodney, Andrew Bailey, Mike Gonzalez, Francisco Rodriguez, and Joel Hanrahan.  Journeymen, yes, but a nice pitching staff with three no-hitters.

The latest All-Unemployed Team has first baseman Carlos Pena, Second baseman Ramon Santiago,  Shortstop Stephen Drew, Third Baseman Placido Polanco, Catcher Yorvit Torrealba, outfielders Nelson Cruz, Sam Fuld, and Vernon Wells, plus DH Kendry Morales.

That team could probably go .500 if they played together for an entire season.  Just wondering which ones would have a huge year this year if they were signed.

So...am I off base?
