Where will the #1's go?

This is either gonna be an interesting trade season, an interesting offseason, or both.

Why?

Because there are 6 former #1 picks that are potential FA, not even counting arbitration eligible players(8 if you wanna count Ju and Kepp). On top of that 2 are garenteed to be going to FA. Both P Bob Hill and P Derek Ballinger are in the final year of FP deals that can't be extended.

At season's start that made these 2 guys some of the biggest trade fodder out there, but wait a min...Mobile is in 1st Place. For now, you'd have to think that Mobile will have to make a run for it and Hill won't go anywhere. If mobile faulters though, look for the Bob Hill Sweepstakes to heat up. As for Ballinger, Omaha also started out hot, but has cooled off and really it doesn't look like they have the horses to compete this year, so look for Derek to be playing for a contender sooner than later.

Besides the 2 hottest commodities above, vets like George Baumann, Jay Bell, Branch Soller, and Henry Orr are also potential FAs. Of these, Henry Orr is probably the most interesting because Indianapolis is at a point where they might be looking at rebuilding. Orr can be re-franchised, but he's already making roughly 7 and a half million a year. Does Indianapolis trade him? Do they let him test the FA waters? No one really knows, but Indy.

Who's going where? It's a bit early to tell, but stay tuned.
