Anthony Zonfrelli wrote a piece for Deadspin devoted to calculating what the best Backyard kid of all (and the number one free agent on this list), would do in Major League Baseball. Friend of the BBQ Nick Selby ranked his top 10 Backyard kids and provided some intense #analysis along with it. ItвЂ™s worth pointing out that IвЂ™m not the first one to attempt to properly quantify the baseball skills of these 30 eclectic children. Preferably teams that give them ridiculous amounts of money. Spring Training is well underway and the 30 original Backyard kids need teams. While I might expand on them in a future post, thatвЂ™s not what this is about. Derek Jeter has a perfect defensive rating! Jeromy Burnitz represents the Brewers! JASON KENDALL IS IN THIS GAME! Mike Piazza and Mark McGwire could mash, but they were so unbelievably slow that you had to legitimately question if they were worth drafting for your squad. Barry Bonds, one year before he broke the single-season home run record, was actually one of the fastest players in the game along with Kenny Lofton. Frank Thomas, for example, was one of the best pitchers in the game some would argue he was even better than the two actual pitchers in the game, Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling. The quirks and personalities of each of the little big leaguers were unforgettable. This incredible collection of late 90вЂ™s MLB superstars included all of our favorite sluggers like Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Ken Griffey Jr., and Marty Cordova. However, not until Backyard Baseball 2001 were we able to play with 31 different big leaguers (one from every team, two from the Cincinnati Reds). The original Backyard Baseball, released in 1997, included all 30 of the glorious children youвЂ™ll be reading about in these rankings. If youвЂ™re anyone who knows anything, you know that Backyard Baseball 2001 was not the first game of the Backyard Baseball franchise. When the kind souls of the Twittersphere gather to debate the greatest baseball video game of all time, I remain the leader in the effort to prove that Backyard Baseball 2001 is the closest thing to virtual baseball perfection the world has ever seen. It was enjoyable, but paled in comparison to the game I would go on to spend hours playing as an eight-year-old, and now as an eighteen-year-old. Despite being born AFTER the 1994 strike, I have indeed played R.B.I. People throughout the internet rejoiced with glee and excitement their pixelated childhood pastime was returning to them from the grave. Recently, it was announced that one of the most notable baseball video games to ever exist, R.B.I. LetвЂ™s venture into the world of Backyard Baseball 2001. These 30 kids have defected from the metaphorical island of ineligibility and are ready to sign with your favorite team. That, of course, is the market that consists of 30 premature superstar talents that canвЂ™t wait to play on a major league field. While each of the three notable free agents remaining could definitely help a team, there is a whole other free agent market waiting to be exploited. The fiery hot stove of the baseball off-season is slowly but surely cooling off, as 47 of MLB Trade RumorsвЂ™ Top 50 Free Agents have signed. The 2014 MLB season is a little under a month away.
