If you were wondering why Jerome was able to enjoy a historic season, you can give much of the credit to the three free agent finds he unearthed in 2013. Jose Fernandez was quite possibly the best pitcher in the second half of the season and was electric for the Marlins in his rookie season. Koji Uehara was probably the 4th closer option when the season began but when it ended, he was an unhittable closer for Arch n' Rick and also was a huge factor in the Red Sox World Series run. Fuck him, by the way. Matt Carpenter touched home plate more than anyone else did last year and Josh Donaldson was only drafted in the deepest of leagues but was 100% owned and loved at season's end. Every season there will be a collection of players that offer a huge return on their investment and this list helps prove that it's wise for a fantasy owner to have one ear on the MLB news and one eye on the free agent pool all season long.
