That might be my lone quality pick!

Do we get points for counting Clemens and Bonds as retired, or do we wait until they make a formal announcement?

i'd wait for a formal announcement, or the start of spring training, or the point where the contest becomes decided anyways and therefore the last few points don't matter in determining the winner.

i need to get back to updating this thing! frig!

edgy, please be honest. did you mean andruw jones to the la dodgers, or la angels? or did i just misread your prediction?

16 players remain unsigned, so i think we're all still alive here...

Sorry. Totally the Dodgers. I'm not-no-never getting around referring to the Angels as the LAAoA.

A remarkable number are still unsigned a month before spring training.

this offseason's free agent poll was "craptacular" that wasn't your fault.

The Dodgers sure paid dearly for their crap. So did the Angels.

And the Yankees paid money to Alex Rodriguez that they didn't have to pay. They've probably had a worse offseason than the Mets.

i'm not sure if the "minor league contracts" should count the same as actually predicting a team. i'll let the group decide. i'd at least give half credit, but for today's tallying, will give full. lunchbucket is the big beneficiary of the minor league contracts, as they give him the lead!

8 players remain, and we all (basically) agree on one of them - clemens.
that means that we have the first dropout - doctee.
and it appears that i will be the next. i'm eliminated from outright victory, and can at best tie.

everyone else still has a chance, i think.

I'm counting on Bonds retiring so I can tie Lunchbucket!
