This had to be one of the richest free agent markets for starting pitching in history. [View all]
And I mean that both literally and figuratively. The only other free agent market that I can remember that had as much high-priced, high talent SP beef in it was 1992-93, when the likes of David Cone, Greg Maddux, Jimmy Key and Doug Drabek (He was still an elite SP heading into that offseason) were available. All of those guys were considered aces at the time they filed for FA.
In this year's market, obviously Cole, Strasburg and Bumgarner (yeah, maybe) could be considered number ones, with Wheeler a #2-3 on a good staff. Were there any other years that anyone can recall where the market was as stacked with #1's as this year's FA market was?
