Breaking Down 2015 MLB Free-Agent Class into Position-by-Position Tiers: An MLB free agents value is not always determined by his own individual abilities, but also by the market as a whole at his respective position. For example, Omar Infante landed a four-year, $30.25 million deal from the Kansas City Royals last season, due in large part to the fact that once Robinson Cano signed with the Seattle Mariners, he was far and away the best option among available second basemen. With that in mind, what follows is a full position-by-position overview of this years free-agent class, with the players broken into four tiers at each position. * Tier 1: A star-caliber position player or pitcher, one of the best at his respective position. * Tier 2: An everyday position player, middle-of-the-rotation starting pitcher or solid late-inning reliever. * Tier 3: A platoon player or reserve likely to see extended playing time, No. 5 starting pitcher/swingman or average middle reliever. * Tier 4: Organizational depth likely to be on the big league roster at some point, but nothing more. So, with that tier system established, lets dive into the 2015 free-agent class with position-by-position tiers. Begin Slideshow #MLB #RankingsList #MLBFreeAgency
