I yearn for my glory days, when I picked Vinny Castilla to the Nationals. :cry:

I hear you.

 

As an aside, this signing tightens up the NSBB Free Agent contest. Bukie finally gets one wrong, while six correctly guess the destination for Benitez. The top five now looks like:

 

 

92.4 - Bukie

90.0 - Tim

90.0 - SCCubsFan

85.6 - AlamoCub

83.3 - ChiefCardinal, Treebeard, abuck1220

 

I've been stuck on this number for a while now.

[Laura]

CPatterson20 has picked 6 right destinations, but they must have been low-VORP.

[treebird]

Beard Sauce is hanging in there, check him out.

[Laura]

Dye, Wells and Hidalgo are still pending!! Stay tuned.

Where did doggy go again? I'll update the list...

N/M. It was Texas.

 

The list is updated on the site, but I'm not going to copy the list to excel, eliminate the last column, copy to notepad, eliminate all the tabs and insert spaces to fix all the columns and then copy and paste to here for another couple of days.

 

Or at least until I get another one right. :evil:

Like I always say, quantity over quality, er, something like that. :D

Thanks

Oops! It'll be back in my sig shortly...

Alamo Cub and Tanner_20 guessing Adrian Beltre correctly probably put this out of reach for everyone else. :x

I'll get it updated one of these days. If someone has some free time and would like to post the following info for the guys that have signed and I have not yet updated, it would speed things up for me.

I can't believe im forth...a distant forth but still forth! :twisted:

[cubscott34]

ok, having been away from the site for a while for reasons out of my control, I come back to see that I am actually in the top ten on this thing and was actually in second at one point... shocking! If only I had put Beltre to the Mariners rather than back with the Dodgers then things might have worked out for me. However, in examining the remaining free agents, it doesn't appear to be very favorable for me the rest of the way! Oh well, it was fun and thanks to Tim for putting this together. =D>
