Roberto Alomar signs with Devil Rays on January 17, 2005.

 

Everyone but Maggs is signed. And no one picked him to the Tigers, so if he signs there the winner can be determined right now! (me)

 

Roger Clemens re-signs with Houston on January 21st.

Carlos Delgado signs with Florida on January 25th.

Jeromy Burnitz signs with the Cubs on February 1st. (haha, just kidding.) (it's really february 2nd.)

Esteban Loaiza signs with Washington on January 19th.

Tadahito Iguchi signs with the White Sox on January 27th.

 

PS. I'm holding bigdaddy, SCCubsfan, USSoccer, and Treebeard personally responsible for the Burnitz signing, since they correctly picked Burnitz to the Cubs.

I honestly remember picking him to sign here in a feeble attempt at the reverse jinx.

I can't stay mad at anyone with a Billy Joe Armstrong avatar.

 

And the Maggs signing with Detroit today ends the contest.

 

Based on only my observation and with no real computations, I believe SCCubsfan won.

Paging Outshined_One. It looks like we have a new set of BlameWGN scapegoats. :lol:

Hey, I thought we'd sign him instead of Hollandsworth as a 4th OF! It's not my fault!

Tim,

 

Can you provide a link to the final standings?

 

I want to see how bad my predictions were.

[BigbadB]

I would have won this thing if all the players went to the destinations I picked for 'em.

 

Book it.

Bitterness?

Jealousy?

All of the above?

I didn't want to do too much gloating so thanks for sticking up for me. ;)

 

I am shocked and honored. There are so many people I have to thank. I'd like to thank Tim for founding such a wonderful place and for providing an arena for me to display my transactional brilliance. I'd also like to thank the Mods, for putting up with the nuts in the nuthouse. Lastly, I'd like to thank my publicist, who is a beautiful human being.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Are we going to do this again this year?

[Jazz]

i really hope so, this was a blast last year.

[Tim]

Are we going to do this again this year?

Oh, heck yes. I'm trying to arrange a sponsor for a prize, though. I'm looking to get an apparel company to give away a $100 gift certificate as a prize in return for the exposure they'll get for sponsoring the contest.
