FanGraphs Audio: Free-er Agents
February 15, 2010
FanGraphs Audio is back and very probably badder than ever. Here’s your guide to this week’s episode.
Episode Two
In which the panel considers the remaining pool of free agents — i.e. the baseballing equivalent of an above-ground pool.
Headlines
Scott Boras Seduces Tigers
Dave Cameron Tells Matt Klaassen What’s What
Branyan’s Got Back (Problems)
… and other fascinating spectacles!
Featuring
Dave Cameron
Matt Klaassen
Finally, thanks to everyone who made suggestions last week. We’ll be trying to make improvements each episode. Translation: it’s not terrible on purpose.
You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.

Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
Good heavens. The only excuse for using Herb Alpert is if Felipe Lopez’s nickname is “The Lonely Bull.”
Also, without context, the headline “Scott Boras seduces Tigers” seems questionable at best. Or is there something you’d like to tell Mrs. Boras?
Good job!
[Note: The first two things I said were lame jokes. Fangraphs Audio is a lot of fun and coming along nicely]
