Combining a couple of my previous article on UZR projections (now updated with UZR/150 values) and the wOBA to WAR conversion , I have created a spreadsheet to project 2010 WAR values of most FA hitters and determine how much money should be spent for the player's production for a multi-year contract. Here are the 20 top projected free agent position players: Rank Name 2010 Projected WAR Position UZR/150...

Your Type A and B free agents for the 2009-2010 Hot Stove season: TYPE A Matt Holliday : This seems pretty obvious. Bad news: the Mets , Holliday's current Media Suitor of choice, have a protected first rounder in 2010, leaving the Cardinals stuck with a second rounder should he end up bolting for Queens. I hate to root for the Red Sox , ever, for anything, but they do have the 29th pick... TYPE B...

This was pretty predictable. The guy is a great fielder, but he'll be 35, didn't hit for power in Citizens Bank Park, didn't hit all that well against lefties (and he's righthanded; the other guys in the lineup have a better excuse -- most of them are lefthanded), and had a terrible on-base percentage. A .306 OBP just can't continue to cut it for a team that expects to contend again for the World Series....

In June, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reported that the Mets were one of several teams who were interested in Troy Glaus.... To trade Glaus, the Cardinals likely would need to pay a sizable percentage of his remaining salary. The Rangers, Mets, Giants and Braves are among the contenders who could seek help at first base. The Tigers and Mariners are among those who could upgrade at DH. Source Fox Sports...

For an offseason weekend with a team already out of the playoffs, there have been some seismic shakes going on in St. Louis. First, the relatively expected news that Tony LaRussa will be back at the helm of the Cardinals for his 15th season with the Redbirds. One report indicated that it would be a multi-year deal, but as always TLR will take it year by year and decide whether he wants to return or...

CINCINNATI – Ace pitcher Chris Carpenter hit a grand slam and drove in six runs, getting the St. Louis Cardinals back on track with his arm and bat in a 13-0 rout of the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday. Carpenter's first career homer capped a five-run second inning for the Cardinals, who had lost five of six including three straight since clinching the NL Central title with a win at Colorado last Saturday....
