    Here is my list from most likely to least likely:

    1) Wily Mo Pena - still young
    2) Andruw Jones - can still fill in as an outfielder as well
    3) Barry Zito - could be used as a situational pitcher
    4) Johan Santana - 2+ years out of pitching doesn't bode well
    5) Manny - don't see this as any more than a side show to attract fans and most teams are over that

              I'm going to throw my 2 cents in for Johan Santana. If his shoulder holds up I think the could be a serviceable rotation guy. He was a very good pitcher when healthy, not just a thrower.

                I remember when he played for the White Sox in 94 and he hit 20 HR's

                  As a life long Braves fan I would love to see Andruw Jones back in the MLB. If he had never gotten fat and had health issues I am certain he would be first ballot HOFer. He had power and played the best defense I have ever seen. There will never be another that makes plays in center that look effortless. Atlanta should sign him so he can retire a Brave.
                  I collect Atlanta Braves and Falcons almost exclusively but there are a few exceptions.

                    I remember back in around 1999 when he was on the cover of some magazine (probably SI) and it said Move over Ken Griffey Jr, there is a new Sherrif in town.
