NEW YORK, NY. September 20, 1917 - While nothing will ever really compare to last season, when players from the inaugural season hit five years of service time, free agency is still something to look forward to each season.
As this year winds down, let's take a look at some of the top players who are still without a contract for the 1918 season:
1. RF Snooks Mckay, 32-years-old.
Mckay, currently a member of the Detroit Wolverines, had a relatively disappointing season. It was his first season with an on-base-average of less than .300, and he hit just .244, a career low. His power did improve a bit, hitting 6 home runs, four more than his career best.
2. C Blondie Ledford, 29-years-old.
The left-handed hitting catcher, currently with the Chicago Orphans, is also having a down year. His walk numbers are way up, giving him a respectable .334 on-base-average, but his batting average is down to a career low .239.
3. SP Johny Beebe, 41-years-old.
Beebe, also a Chicago Orphan, is one of the older players in the league but is still doing excellent. His 19-15 record and 2.42 ERA make this season one of his best.
