Cream of the crop

Aramis Ramirez
2006 TSN.ca Rating: 90.35
2006 Team: Chicago Cubs
Age: 28
2007 Team: Chicago Cubs (5-year, $75 million contract)
Notes: After reaching career highs in home runs and RBI in 2006, Ramirez exercised his opt-out clause, leaving $22.5 million on the table. As one of the top hitters on the market, the right-handed bat should easily make the money back.

AB	R	HR	RBI	OBP	AVG
594	93	38	119	.352	.291

Aubrey Huff
2006 TSN.ca Rating: 84.75
2006 Team: Devil Rays/Astros
Age: 29
2007 Team: Baltimore Orioles (3 year, $20 million)
Notes: The 29-year old with the powerful left-handed swing can also play first base and the outfield in a pinch. While he's not great in the field, he has the potential to bat .280 with 25 home runs.

Pedro Feliz
2006 TSN.ca Rating: 65.93
2006 Team: San Francisco Giants
Age: 31
2007 Team: San Francisco Giants (1-year, $5.1 million)
Notes: Despite the fact that Feliz finished last among all qualifed National League thrid basemen in AVG and OBP in 2006, there could be a market for him. He hits for power and is better than average defensively.
