When the Tigers signed Torii Hunter to a two year, free agent contract shortly after the World Series ended, one valuable piece had been taken off the board.  However, as the Winter Meetings approach, there are plenty of stars waiting to see where they will be employed in 2013.

The Top pitcher on the board is Zach Greinke.  The talented right-hander will command some lofty bucks and multiple years.  He just may become the highest paid right-hander in the game.  Greinke was 15-5 last year with 200 strikeouts in 212 1/3 innings with the Brewers and Angels last season.

On the offensive side of the board, Texas star Josh Hamilton will also be in for a big pay day despite his past personal problems.  Hamilton belted 43 homers and knocked in 128 runs in 2012.  The question is whether he will remain in Texas where his career took off under skipper Ron Washington.

Here is a list of some of just the top free agents available this off season.  Click on players name for career stats.
