How to value free agents this winter without knowing what ball they will use in 2020?

Sorry for the long title as well as most likely posting it in the wrong forum for starters.

 

I know this sounds like a dumb topic but how can GM's evaluate the free agent class if MLB has not informed teams if they will be playing with "Juiced Balls" like they did in 2019? 

 

 

Teams shouldn't be trying to chase free agent hitters only because of power. If anything pitchers in the free agent class could get hurt the most by the chance of "Juiced Balls" in 2020. There could be quite a few pitchers that had down years in 2019 that could turn into bargains depending on the 2020 baseballs.

Mod question, how do I correct a word in the title of a topic?  Instead of  "How to value free agents this winter without knowing what ball the will use in 2020?"

With a post like that. Or a PM to one of us. I suppose you could even click the Report button on your post, which reaches all the moderators, and explain what you want.

They can always look at normalized metrics such as wRC+ and FIP-, etc.
