A Sigma 50mm 1.4, Sigma 150-500mm, and Sony 70-200mm 2.8G are compatible with a FF. I'm pretty sure the Sony DT 30 and Sony 85mm 2.8 aren't.

You have a lot of nice glass and that would personally sway me to the a99.

Contrary to what others state here, my limited experience with shooting professional baseball under the lights and indoors with my a850 is that the exposure is ‘ballpark’ ( 1/500th f5.6 at ISO1600. Your mileage may vary but that opens up a lot of possibilities and the a99 can handle that ISO 1600 or even 3200 with ease.

Yankee Stadium under the lights...  ARod line drive

Yankees @ Tampa Bay indoors... ARod two consecutive homers w/ same exposure

Minor league Albany River Cats under the lights
