Paul Maholm - The 31 year old lefty started 26 games last season for Atlanta, winning 10 of them Health concerns have scared suitors away as Maholm is seeking a more than a one year deal. Don't be surprised to see Maholm return to the Braves for one more year.

Nelson Cruz - It's true the Yankees, Tigers, Nationals and Rangers are among the many who would like to have Cruz's bat in the lineup this spring. Yet who is going to take the chance and put up the dough for the 33 year old fresh off a 50 game performance enhancing drugs suspension. 

A.J. Burnett - A big part of the Pirates 2013 run, was their pitching. Burnett certainly did his fair share winning 10 games with an ERA of just 3.30. Now 37 A.J. can provide a club, a solid back end of the rotation 25 start kind of guy. The Diamondbacks have also been in discussions with Burnett
