We'll take a stab at rating the lot based on the likelihood that they yield good value next year. Rather than playing out the string, use whatever means (within the rules) you need to acquire one or two of these players. They may not work out. But you might also grab the next Reds' closer, or the Yankees' starting first baseman.
