Below are links from last year’s free agent tracking.

Hot Stove League

Now that the Hot Stove League has gotten started early for the Dodgers and everybody else save two teams, I was casting about for info on potential free agents this off season. A comprehensive list was surprisingly hard to locate, at least all in one spot — names are scattered all over. However, I was able to track a couple of resources down finally.

First up at Cot’s Baseball Contracts are these two pages:

The following […] players should have the 6 years of Major League service time required to become eligible for free agency after the 2006 season. (Options noted where applicable.)

• Possible free agent pitchers
• Possible free agents (position players)

Then over at MLB Trade Rumors are a couple of other pages with the best potentially available players arranged by stats:

• 2007 MLB Free Agents: Starters
• 2007 MLB Free Agents: Hitters

Update: mlb4u.com

Came across another good resource at mlb4u.com:
