2011 MLB Offseason: Revisting the Big Free Agent Moves

Like most people, as soon as the season ended, I made my free agent predictions for the top free agents from Cliff Lee, to Aubrey Huff.
My predictions are not wild, or bold, but were based on which teams needed key players, and which teams would retain some of these players.
Throughout the 2011 Off Season, we’ve seen big free agent acquisitions from teams we would never guess would be in the running, and some teams who seemed to have been hibernating through the Winter Meetings, and beyond that.
The season hasn’t started, but the main part of free agency is pretty much over, so I decided I’d look back at my Free Agent Predictions, my justifications, and what actually happened.
Also, as a bonus, I’ll give my projection for that player, along with a grade for the acquisition.
Some top free agents are not on this list, as I couldn’t make predictions for everyone at the time.
