Alright well before all the fun starts with GMs throwing money around, I'll list my free agent predicitons. Obviously 90% of these guys are going to get overpaid (can you say Carlos Silva?) but thats free agency.
Pitchers
CC Sabathia- NY Yankees, obviously. $150m+, obviously
AJ Burnett- NY Yankees, unfortunately. when will his for DL stint be? may or june?
Derek Lowe- Texas Rangers, maybe a sinker-baller in that stadium will work?
Ben Sheets- Houston Astros, 3yrs/$24m w/ incentives
Brad Penny- St. Louis Cardinals, 1yr $7m with team option
Oliver Perez- Atlanta Braves, he'll get too much money
Jon Garland- Cincinnati Reds, 2yrs/$14m
Ryan Dempster- LA Dodgers
Francisco Rodriguez- Angels, not the 5yrs $75m he wants, but 4yrs/$48m
Brian Fuentes- NY Mets 3yrs/$33m
Juan Cruz- NY Mets 3yrs/$15m
Kerry Wood- Chicago Cubs
Andy Pettite- NY Yankees, 1yr deal
Mike Mussina- I think he'll retire, deserves to be in the HoF
Hitters
Manny Ramirez- Dodgers, he won't get that offer anywhere else
Mark Teixeira- Yankees, obviously. $180+, obviously
Adam Dunn- Seattle Mariners? Surprise.
Rafael Furcal- Baltimore Orioles, 2yr/$14m
Orlando Cabrera- Oakland Athletics, 2yr deal
Bobby Abreu- Chicago Cubs, 2yrs/$20m.
Milton Bradley- Toronto Blue Jays, 3years/$30m
Joe Crede- San Francisco Giants. 3yrs/$24m
Pat Burrel- no clue
Raul Ibanez- Atlanta Braves, 2years/$20m
Juan Rivera- Mets, 3yrs/$20m
Jim Edmonds- Yankees, 1yr deal
Trades
Jake Peavy to the Cubs
Matt Holliday to the Phillies
Mets trade for a starting pitcher; dont know who but not a #1, just a 3-4 starter guy
5.Pujols elbow still intact. the media sold it like his ligament is a rubberband pressed against a sharp knife, guess the knife isnt that sharp. Sadly i bought into the hype.
4.Willie Randolph still manager of the mets. after last year's disaster i thought he would be gone at the first sign of lackluster play, appartently not.
3. Chase Utley still getting balls to hit with a 200/200 player behind him, ryan howard. on track for .205 and 221ks
2. The Red's kids
1. Reds having Bruce, Votto, Volquez, Griffey, Dunn, Phillips, Arroyo, Harang, Coco Cordero, and somehow still losing
