Thought this was interesting. He ranks them according to talks with agents, scouts, and execs.

FIRST BASEMEN

58. Tony Clark (35) - Not a good sign when the best of the bunch spent last season in a platoon.
68. Sean Casey (33) - Still can hit. Just not for power (four homers in 454 at-bats).
72. Doug Mientkiewicz (33) - Slugged .440 last year and is still a defensive whiz
81. Ryan Klesko (36) - Nice bat off the bench.
83. Mark Sweeney (38) - Needs 50 more pinch hits to pass Lenny Harris for first all-time.
90. Greg Norton (35) - After 17 homers in '06, hit just four last year.
108. Eric Hinske (30) - Pretty sure he won't be getting a $14.75 million deal this time around.
114. Robert Fick (34) - Could help in a utility role.

SECOND BASEMEN

25. Kazuo Matsui (32) - Big postseason means big payday.
30. Luis Castillo (32) SIGNED -  Completed deal with Mets for $25 million, four years.
31. Tadahito Iguchi (33) - Could be a bargain.
73. Mark Loretta (36) - Still gets on base and doesn't strike out.
82. Marcus Giles (29) - Two years ago, he'd have been in the top 20.
86. Jose Valentin (38) - Coming off an injury, he'll get a flyer somewhere.
96. Damion Easley (38) - SIGNED Re-signed with the Mets for $950,000 over one year.
98. Tony Graffanino (35) - Versatile, and a bat with some pop.
106. Miguel Cairo (33) - Intangible guy, not much more.

SHORTSTOPS

44. David Eckstein (33) - Could be substantially overpaid because of waif shortstop class.
103. Chris Gomez (36) - Repeat: Chris Gomez is the second-best free-agent shortstop.
127. Chris Woodward (31) - Somehow, entering his 10th season.
128. Royce Clayton (38) - Could sign with his 12th team.
137. Ramon Martinez (35) - Only 29 home runs in nearly 2,000 career at-bats.
143. Neifi Perez (34) - Officially the worst player in the class of '08, and he's still got time left on his amphetamine suspension. Could this be the end of the Neifi Index?

THIRD BASEMEN

1. Alex Rodriguez (32) -  SIGNED One more record contract - this time $275 million - will take him to the end of his career in pinstripes.
7. Mike Lowell (34) - SIGNED Agrees to $37.5 million, three-year deal with Red Sox.
26. Mike Lamb (32) - Just watch. The most underrated player of the class could flourish with full-time at-bats.

91. Geoff Blum (34) -  SIGNED Versatile glove, clutch bat goes home to Astros in a one-year, $1.1 million deal.
95. Aaron Boone (35) - Yeah, he's still playing.

129. Jeff Cirillo (38) - May just retire.

OUTFIELDERS

2. Andruw Jones (30) - One bad season does not a career make. He should pass 400-home run mark this year and - most important - has Scott Boras on his side.
3. Torii Hunter (32) -  SIGNED Signed a five-year deal worth $90 million with Angels.
4. Barry Bonds (43) - Love him or hate him, the old man can still rake. UPDATE: Don't think anyone's going to be signing him anytime soon.
6. Kosuke Fukudome (30) - Former Central League MVP will cash in big-time, as teams don't have to pay a posting fee for him.
10. Aaron Rowand (30) - Picked the right time to have a career year.
12. Mike Cameron (35) - Picked the wrong time to test positive for amphetamines.
15. Jose Guillen (31) - So, how much of it was the steroids?
17. Brad Wilkerson (30) - If he can remember how to walk, he's got all the talent to be a star.
29. Milton Bradley (29) - Would be higher if he hadn't blown out a knee acting like a tough guy to an umpire.

42. Geoff Jenkins (33) - Never had fewer than 17 home runs in a full season.
49. Shannon Stewart (34) - Make-good year was just OK. Certainly not up to his 2003 season.
50. Kenny Lofton (40) - Aiming for team No. 12, too.
52. Luis Gonzalez (40) - Looked halfway decent before the Dodgers' youth movement.
57. Shawn Green (35) - Remember when he was a star?

100. Rondell White (36) - Injuries wracked his promising career as well.
101. Preston Wilson (33) - Speaking of injuries, coming off a 64-at-bat season.
102. Darin Erstad (33) - And in that vein, Erstad likewise looked washed-up last year.
104. Trot Nixon (33) - While we're at it ... you get the picture.
107. Jeff DaVanon (34) - How is Jeff DaVanon older than Trot Nixon?
113. Orlando Palmeiro (39) - Old pro just keeps trucking, even with .613 OPS last year.
130. Jerry Hairston Jr. (31) - Two straight years of near-.200 batting average.

CATCHERS

5. Jorge Posada (36) - SIGNED Yankees paid him $52.4 million over four years on the eve of free agency. Story
38. Michael Barrett (31) - Perhaps someone can show him being a knucklehead isn't the way to go through life.
43. Paul Lo Duca (35) - Getting by more on reputation than talent these days.
56. Yorvit Torrealba (29) - So how much was that swing in the NLCS worth? At least $5 million.

94. Ramon Castro (32) - SIGNED Re-signed with the Mets for $4.6 million over two years.
110. Jason Kendall (33) - SIGNED Signed a one-year deal with an option for 2009 with the Brewers.

117. Damian Miller (38) - And yet he's ahead of this guy, and a dozen (!) others.
119. Mike Lieberthal (35) - So, how do you rate backup catchers? This guy has hit double-digit homers seven times.

123. Jose Molina (32) - His OPS was over .600 last year.
125. Gary Bennett (35) - So was his!
126. Doug Mirabelli (37) - And he can, uh, catch a knuckleball.
132. Paul Bako (35) - These are backup catchers. This is getting tough.
133. Mike DiFelice (38) - Actually, DiFelice was the backup to the backup to the backup for the Mets last season.

STARTING PITCHERS

9. Andy Pettitte (35) - If he plays - and that's a big if.
13. Hiroki Kuroda (33) - Might be the most sought-after pitcher this offseason, even if his 1.85 ERA in Japan came two years ago.
14. Carlos Silva (28) - Impeccable control. Not $10 million-a-year control, but the market - and not talent - will dictate that.
16. Livan Hernandez (33, allegedly) - Nine of 10 years pitched at least 200 innings. The other year: 199 2/3.
19. Freddy Garcia (32) - Surgery, shmurgery. If he's healthy, he's a legit No. 2, and he can be had at a bargain for the risk-taking types.
20. Tom Glavine (42) -  SIGNED He returns to Atlanta for one-year, $8 million contract.
21. Kenny Rogers (43) - How much is left?
22. Kyle Lohse (29) - Were these rankings on potential salary instead of accomplishment, he'd be in the top 10.
23. Bartolo Colon (35) - Seems like more than two years since he won his Cy Young.
27. Jason Jennings (29) - Is he the magician who spun a 3.78 ERA in Colorado two years ago or the bum who couldn't keep his ERA under six in Houston?
35. Randy Wolf (31) - On his way to a solid season until injuries ended it. Heard that one before?
39. Jeff Weaver (31) - That one-year deal didn't work out so well.
41. Jon Lieber (37) - Innings-eater went on a hunger strike last year.
45. Josh Fogg (31) - Boston slew the The Dragon Slayer in the World Series.
51. Kip Wells (30) - Still hasn't found his LaFawnduh.
53. Kris Benson (33) - Coming off rotator cuff surgery.
54. Matt Clement (33) - About $1.39 million per win for the Red Sox.
71. Odalis Perez (30) - Decent stuff, poor work ethic.
77. Byung-Hyun Kim (29) - Please, just make him a reliever again.
78. Steve Trachsel (37) - If this baseball racket doesn't work out, he's got a ready-made TV show.

RELIEF PITCHERS

8. Mariano Rivera (38) - SIGNED Accepts Yankees' $45 million, three-year offer.

18. Masahide Kobayashi (33) - SIGNED Indians signed closer who had 20 saves seven straight years in Japan to a two-year, $6.25 million deal.
24. Eric Gagne (32) - Lost himself $30 million over the last two months.
33. David Riske (31) - Consistently one of baseball's best relievers, he posted a 2.45 ERA last year.
36. Scott Linebrink (31) - Workhorse will log quality innings, and in this market, that's worth $7 million a year.
40. Kerry Wood (30) - Doesn't hit 100 anymore. Sometimes doesn't even hit 90.
46. Troy Percival (38) - Long gone are the days of blowing hitters away. Now he just gets them out with the same dominating regularity.
47. Kazuo Fukumori (31) - He's a risk. Not because of the elbow surgery, but because any man who so enjoys emoticons is a little iffy.
48. Ron Mahay (36) - If J.C. Romero gets $12 million for three years, Mahay deserves at least that much.
55. Octavio Dotel (34) - Just stay healthy for one season.

61. Matt Herges (38) - Reinvented himself and revitalized career in Colorado, of all places.

64. LaTroy Hawkins (35) - How does a guy who throws 96 mph strike out only 29 in 55 1/3 innings?

67. Luis Vizcaino (33) - Been a reliable middle reliever four years running.

70. Shawn Chacon (30) - On the every-other-year-he's-good plan, which is bad for whichever team signs him.
74. Doug Brocail (40) - Amazing comeback could end in retirement.
80. Trever Miller (34) - Lefties hit just .209 off him last season
84. Ray King (34) - Even better: .187 vs. left-handers. But righties were .311
88. Jorge Julio (29) - Million-dollar arm, bankrupt head.
93. Rudy Seanez (39) - Set career high by pitching in 73 games last season.
97. Arthur Rhodes (38) - If he comes back from elbow-ligament surgery.
99. Antonio Alfonseca (35) - Now we're getting to the dregs.
109. Mike Myers (38) - The quintessential one-out lefty.
118. Brian Moehler (36) - Wasn't half-bad last year. Wasn't half-good, either.
