After a busy week of free agent activity, at least by my standards. Current ages listed. Still looking like an "average" team. .500 +/- 10 games but with some upside. My offensive players have combined for a 260/316/413 line in real life in the majors. Pretty much in line with MLB as a whole. Pitchers have combined for a 1.22 whip, which is slightly favorable to MLB as a whole.

Others
OF - J.D. Martinez (R - 25) - Career 333/395/533 in minors makes him a tough cut, especially when he has shown some ability in the majors
SP - Josh Tomlin (R - 28) - Recently returned from Tommy John surgery. A 1.22 whip in 341 major league innings shows some ability. Career 1.075 whip in 598 minor league innings as well. Great results in minimal action since his return.
SP - Jeff Karstens (R - 30) - Injured this year, but a poor 2010 will fall off of his 3 year trend. 1.18 whip in 253 major league innings in 2011-2012.
SP - Andrew Albers (L - 27) - Came out of no where to shut down KC and Cleveland in his 1st 2 career starts in the majors. 1.06 whip in 38 innings with the Twins now. 1.15 for his career in the minors.
SP - Erasmo Ramirez (R - 23) - Good numbers last year as a rookie, but has experienced a sophomore slump, though did start the year injured.
SP - Jenrry Mejia (R - 23) - Tommy John surgery in 2012. Returned looking stellar in 2013 but was recently shut down for right elbow surgery.
SP - Manny Banuelos (L - 22) - Missing 2013 with Tommy John surgery.
RP - Dan Langfield (R - 22) - Missing 2013 with shoulder surgery.
