When Rogers Hornsby famously informed everyone of his lackluster offseason plans, he neglected to mention the part where he, like the rest of us, spent countless hours on his favorite sports blog coming up with ideas about which players his team should sign in free agency.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis hits dingers by the boatload, and is a free agent with a hefty price tag.
