Veteran MLB Free Agents Who Are Huge Short-Term Values

Even with most of the top free-agent targets off the board, teams are still looking to fill important roster voids. And while remaining free agents like Shin-Soo Choo, Ervin Santana and Ubaldo Jimenez would have big impacts on their new prospective teams, general managers will still need to fill roster spots with lesser, veteran options too. Take Mark Ellis, for instance. Ellis posted a 3.0 bWAR in 2013, but as a defense-first 36-year-old, he likely wouldn’t command a big contract.
