While the market for infielders is pretty weak, teams are in better luck if they're looking for an outfielder (especially one at the corners). For teams searching for outfield help, you have two All-Star candidates, several players who still merit starting jobs and several guys who have value as part-timers.
Outfielders are ranked by projected WAR over the next three years, as projected by ZiPS. All numbers given represent projected performance in a neutral park.
For the full take on free-agent outfielders, you need to be an ESPN Insider.
