A lot of those guys have been good players, but they're not necessarily still nearly as good as they used to be.

 

The "name" factor is pretty high. Shields & Gio, for instance were top-eschelon pitchers for a good while, but that was a little while ago. Same could be said for a number of those other names.

 

All could maybe re-reach previous heights, but it's also possible none will come anywhere close to how well they've done before.

 

I think the main reason most of those guys are still available is that a) teams aren't going to overpay for past performance and/or b) players' contract expectations may not be realistic compared to what the market seems to be willing to pay for their actual recent performance level.
