2010 MLB Free Agents: Jayson Werth, Carl Crawford Best In The Outfield

We continue our look at the best free agents on the market this offseason by turning our attention to the outfield.

Carl Crawford: the best outfielder on the market, Crawford blends most of all the skills you'd ever want in a player, and he's still just 29 years old. There are a lot of contributing seasons left in his body, and he'll get paid accordingly.

Jayson Werth: Werth was the best hitter on the Phillies last year, and has posted an OPS of .885 over the past four years. He doesn't do many things wrong, and he's ready to be an impact bat somewhere else.

Magglio Ordonez: Ordonez turns 37 in January and missed the second half of the season, but he can still make a lot of contact and drive the ball to the gaps, which makes him a useful supporting player to a lineup core.

Rick Ankiel: Ankiel isn't an impact player and he doesn't have a very strong approach at the plate, but his ability to hit for some power and play center field will get him a shot at a good amount of playing time.

Scott Podsednik: still able to put the ball in play and run like hell, Podsednik's ability to play in the middle makes him a very capable fourth outfielder, and he may even be able to cut it as a starter for another year or two.

-----

Worth noting: Jim Edmonds, Pat Burrell, Jose Guillen, Andruw Jones, Randy Winn, Austin Kearns, Corey Patterson.
