The following list includes players who are major league free agents and players who were free agents at the end of the season but had their 2012 option exercised, were re-signed, or signed with another team. Players that have signed are listed under the 'OFF THE MARKET' section at the bottom of the page. You can see a list of each team's minor league free agents on the team pages.
The players on this list are separated by position and sorted within each section by fWAR, which stands for 'Wins Above Replacement' as defined by FanGraphs.com. Below is a short description. Click HERE for FanGraphs.com's full description.
Wins Above Replacement (WAR) is an attempt by the sabermetric community to summarize a player’s total contributions to their team in one statistic. You should always use more than one metric at a time when evaluating players, but WAR is pretty darn all-inclusive and provides a handy reference point. WAR basically looks at a player and asks the question, “If this player got injured and their team had to replace them with a minor leaguer or someone from their bench, how much value would the team be losing?” This value is expressed in a wins format, so we could say that Player X is worth 6.3 wins to their team while Player Y is only worth 3.5 wins.

Interesting list you made here! Thanks for all the information!
Great List, Great Website!
Thanks! Glad you like it.
Did Navarro sign?
You mean Dioner Navarro? No he hasn't. I don't have him on this list since he was released before the end of the 2011 season. Should get a minor league deal with some team.
Yep, I didn't realize he was a minor league free agent. I don't believe he's on baseball america's minor league free agent tracker.
You have Cuddyer signing with the Twins instead of Colorado. Other than that GREAT JOB!
You can take Cole Garner off this list.
Thanks! I had a feeling there was something I forgot to update today.
Pineiro
No market for Willy Aybar or is he not a FA?
Played in Indy ball last season. Don't know if he's on anyone's radar these days.
Where did Tejada go?
Are any teams interested in Michael Weurtz?
Haven't heard his name much. Not sure if he'll be healthy enough. He would be a good fit in Minnesota. They need bullpen help and he was born there.
Re: Tejada
Who? Miguel Tejada?
What's up with Ben Sheets?
He's about 1 1/2 years removed from Tommy John surgery. Don't know if he'll try and pitch again. He's only 33 so I'm guessing he comes back, maybe in 2013.
