With the Cards installed as champions, it's time to look forward to the off-season.

The years top free agents

Albert Pujols
Prince Fielder
Jose Reyes
C.J. Wilson
Roy Oswalt
Jonathan Papelbon
Jimmy Rollins
Heath Bell
Carlos Beltran

Not a whole lot of Starting pitching, which means C.J. Wilson will get paid like a #1 when he is a #2 at best.
Reports are that Oswalt's back injuries has teams skeptical, but someone will pay him.

So, where do you think these guys will end up?
What do you want to see your team do?
Any big surprises?

For the Yanks-
I'm not really impressed with Wilson, but think he would slot in nicely in the 3 slot. You have CC at the top of the rotation, and you have to break up the lefties, so I like him better than if he was #2. I think this will be another year of a retread rotation, as the Yanks try to hold off pitching the Kids they have in the minors.
I also expect a big trade from them.
There in no way Jesus Montero will be on the team come opening day.
Some reports the Yanks are in on Beltran.
Not a fan of this, I would've loved him as a rental, but they don't need the 3 year contract that he will get.

The other free agents, I think that Pujols or Reyes will end up in Florida, and it wouldn't shock me if both end up there.
I wonder how much spending Theo is allowed to do?
I think he will target Prince and Albert.
Papelbon will stay in Boston.
