Okay, here goes. Forgive me if some of my guesses seem completely wild. I don't pay much attention to what other teams need, so a lot of these selections were pulled directly from my nose.

Edgy MD · November 6, 2007

I like that last one on Dickshot's list. Todd Van Poppel went from off-injured talented young starter to effective middle-aged reliever for the Cubs, to failed free-agent for the Rangers. Why shouldn't Kerry Wood follow the same career track?

Edgy MD · November 6, 2007

I also want to point out the prediction by Johnny --- ever a sucker for a magic quote --- of Omar's rampaging spending spree.

6. Luis Castillo (NYM) 2B -- Mets

7. Ramon Castro (NYM) C -- Mets

15. Eric Gagne (BOS) RP -- Mets

16. Freddy Garcia (PHI) SP -- Mets

21. Jason Jennings (HOU) SP -- Mets

33. Alex Rodriguez (NYY) 3B -- Mets

35. Carlos Silva (MIN) SP -- Mets

Mets to go nuts. You read it here first.

November 6, 2007

I should have added a disclaimer: I'm so smart I have no idea what will happen. I'm no Magic Quote sucker.

In general, I saw the Mets and Phillies try to get pitching, the Yankees try to get some big names, and the Nationals to take chances on bad citizens.

I kinda like the Mets taking a chance on Jason Jennings, though

Edgy MD · November 6, 2007

Nats are interesting. Bowden has made it clear that he thinks big-name free agents should be the last piece of the puzzle, but he's already met with reps for three big-ticket centerfielders --- Hunter, Rowand, and Jones. They don't need a big stud to have a good attendance year, as they have a new park, but they may need a centerpiece for their maketing going beyond this year.

i'll try to keep track of this like i did last year. get your picks in by nov 13th. if anybody signs before the 13th, then we strike their name from the list.

i'm covered though as nobody gets any points for this one. i figured if the yankees let him get past today he was a good shot to go elsewhere and if they didnt it wouldnt cost me anything

Edgy MD · November 26, 2007

Noobody got Torii Hunter. (DocTee apparently just freaked out skipped him.)

Nymr and Sharpie get congratulations on Kerry Wood. As does Michigan.

DocTee · November 26, 2007

Noobody got Torii Hunter. (DocTee apparently just freaked out skipped him.)

I had him going to TEX...you'll see I have two spots for his list predecessor, Livan Hernandez. Him, I got heading to Seattle.

Why? i dunno

edgy has his own little bit of confusion in his guesses:

22. Andruw Jones (ATL) CF
Los Angeles written all over him.

For "confusion," should I read "ambiguity," in that LA might mean Dodgers or Angels? I'm sure he wasn't confused over his own meaning, or intending to confuse us, but simply careless.

metsmarathon · December 2, 2007

well, i'm easily confused.

December 3, 2007

You have me down for 3 correct when I have 4 (Castillo, Glavine, Rivera, Wood).

metsmarathon · December 3, 2007

you're right. i did that across the board for anyone who got kerry wood right, it seems.

Also, Matsui has signed with the Stros giving MetsGuyinMichigan a point.

Edgy MD · December 3, 2007

How 'bout that money KazMat got?

Edgy MD · December 4, 2007

Andy Pettitte returns to the Yanks on a one-year deal.

Seems to me that the best strategemary is to just predict that everybody will return to his last team.

December 14, 2007

This needs updating. Edgy picking both Andruw Jones to the Dodgers and Lo Duca to the Nats is gonna make him tough to beat. No one got Eckstein to the Jays or A-Rod to the Yankees or Rowand to the Giants. Several got Pettitte staying with the Yanks.

Edgy MD · December 14, 2007

Nobody got Rowand to the Giants. Michigan J. Frog was the sole Matsui oracle.
