    What's the competition like in the DSL? And no internet jokes either. :)

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

    Three people had the correct guess for Castilla, three for Guzman and I'd have to check the entry dates to find out about Vizquel. I think the most fair way to do it is to give credit to those who got their ballots in early and picked the correct teams before the signings, but not to give credit for anyone that puts down the correct answers for Vizquel, Castilla or Guzman (so far). The moral of the story is: Get your entries in now so that you have the best chance of getting as many people right as possible! No credit will be given for already signed free agents when you submit your ballot. That's probably a good way to go about it, but my only quibble with it is that people who submitted on different dates now have a different number of possible points that they can get. It's slightly unfair towards those who submit closer to the deadline, since some of the points that others were eligible for they cannot receive. I don't know how to fix this problem, but I thought I'd point it out. I say call the BCS!

    Perhaps it's time to move this to Transactions and Sticky it? It also might help if one of the mods or CFP could delete the old lists to eliminate confusions. Never mind. I'll just copy the lists and post them over there, and then the powers that be can decide if they are sticky-worthy.

    He's still arbitration eligible, but I'm not sure if this is his second or third time through the process. If it's the former, he'll be arby eligible after 2005, if it's the latter he'll be a Free Agent after 2005.

    Murton is a worse case 3rd on this list, and might be higher. Hoffpauir, Collins, and Sing are all 1B by trade and Murton is a better hitter than all of them.

    So now Hendry signed Alou and Sosa's deals? Lee, Ramirez, and Wood are far from "old and declining". It's also funny how you talk about Harris, Beltran, and Jones as being future stars, you neglect that we got Boston's 1st Round pick from last year who is ripping up High A. It's also worth noting that neither of the players given up were the only one's of their kind. Lewis is an upper level 2B, Wellemeyer a young RH fireballing reliever, and Sisco is a better prospect than Jones, not to mention Pinto, Marshall, etc. So, the worst case scenario is that we get two first rounders plus Murton for Jones/Beltran/Harris. Add in the fact that we get Nomar for the rest of this year plus an inside track on signing him. I think it's worth it.

    Geoff Jenkins and Trot Nixon have both signed extensions. Thanks for updating the list CFP.

    Thanks for taking the time Bruce. Do Hendry or any of his aides consider sabremetrics or other advanced statistics when evaluating players? Being a former scout Hendry is probably a tools guy, so is there anyone coming from the other side of the spectrum?
