What an ugly SP class.

And the Elias rankings are so ridiculously weighted towards RP. I really do hope compensation picks go away with the next CBA.

That said, Jays are looking at another bounty!

Does oswalt bring picks?

He may be a type A but his option being declined means no picks?
I think they would have to offer him ARB, which they most likley wont, so I think not

You have Kotsay listed as a 1B. Don't you know he is a centerfielder?

Sincerely,
Ron Roenickie

Updated the list with the Madson and Bloomquist deals. I also put up some international guys that could come over. I wont add the MiLB FA's, but anyone who elects to be a free agent, I will put on the list. If their is anything else you want me to add just lmk.

I always worry about over-paying second-tier Closers, but there is no way Madson is worth even close to $11 Million per... ::facepalm::

Apparently the Madson deal is NOT final but close. Rumor is Phillies are courting Papelbon as well.

Heard Reyes meet with the Marlins today. I'm hope the Brewers hurry up and get in the mix.
