The opening day of ABL free agency arrives today with a flurry of activity as players file their paperwork to become free agents.
For the next several months, players and their prospective suitors will be locked in fierce negotiations. Deals will come together, fall apart, and be resurrected again. Teams will fight to meet their needs while staying within their budget. Throughout the process, there will be second-guessing from fans and media alike. Even players who remain under contract will keep an eye on things, curious as to who will be sharing their locker room in the coming season and whether that bodes well or ill for their own careers.
Months from now, when the free agency period has settled down, fans will finally get a glimpse of the latest version of their team.
A number of quality players have filed for free agency and could generate a lot of interest. Most notable among them are:
Jeremy Walko, 38 year old LH SP
John Prest, 31 year old RH SP
Jeff Lowe, 28 year old CF
Johnny Oviedo, 28 year old LF
Juan Garcia, 29 year old RH SP
Julio Martinez, 34 year old LH SP
Pat Walker, 31 year old 2B
Kyle Gonzalez, 37 year old 2B
Bill Catania, 25 year old RH SP
Mike Fragoso, 36 year old LH SP
