Free Agent Prediction Contest!

metsmarathon · November 13, 2008

well, i figured i'd drag this out till the last possible moment...

time once again for the annual free agent prediciton contest! but this year, i'm adding a new wrinkle - just for fun!

basically, while its fun to try and predict what teams will get what players, i thought it would be fun to see who can best predict the market.

so in addition to guessing what team each of these free agents will land with, also take a stab at the length and average dollars that they'll get. i'll hand out separate recognition to whoever guesses the teams best and whoever guesses the market best.

as far as scoring the market, the lowest score wins - you get one point for each million dollars you're off, or for each year.

so if you guessed andy pettite would get 1 year for $13M, and he ends up signing for 4 years at $48M, you'd get 3 points for the length of contract, and 1 point for the dollar value - total 4 points.

if someone else guessed 3 years at $30M, they'd get 1 point for length of contract (4-3=1), and 2 points for the dollar value (12-10=2) - total 3 points.

i don't know if this'll be fun, or interesting, or if anyone's even gonna bother cos it sounds too complicated, but what the hell - i'm bored today.

i took the list of all the Type A free agents, and percolated in a select few type B and un-typed free agents of interest.

so have at it! (please!)

lets set a due date of next friday, 11:59 PM. if anybody gets signed before then, they don't count.

It's because of the linefeeds in your HTML.

To get rid of the white space, get rid of the linefeeds. Make your table look like one big fat paragraph of HTML.

please feel free to only guess hte new team. heck, if you only want to guess the contracts, that'd be okay too.

i should've made 'em separate contests, i realize now.

i also should've waited for espn to come out with their top 50 free agents, and just use the top 25 off their list, instead of taking the type a and b free agents, thinking them to be of high enough qualioty that we'd care where tehy end up.

but please, if you onle want to guess the new team, go for it. my feelings won't be hurt.

IIRC Odalys Perez is also a free agent and he's not on that list.
The lefty starter had a 4.3 ERA last year, not bad, and Omar wouldn't have to pay the money to have Oliver Perez' uniforms renamed. Sounds like a match to me.

well, so far, mike mussina and dyan dempster both signed up before i closed the contest, so those who were prescient enough to have correctly guessed their fates get nothing.

and nobody else we're tracking has yet to show up as "signed" in espn.com's big ol' list of free agents.

so we're all tied up in the race for best prognosticator. like you care.

your leaders are:

teams: lunchbucket & irish (2), attgig (1)
dollars: me ($13M), irish ($14M), attgig ($17M)
years: everyone (4 years)

i'm still not sure how to treat irish's non-answer on renteria... i should probably dock him $9M and 2 years...

Whoah, not getting points for Dempster or Sabathia. Probably won't get get them for Furcal either if he goes through with his return to Atlanta.

I'm losing faith in the system.

metsmarathon
Dec 17 2008 11:41 AM

dempster signed before the contest closed, ditto mussina's retirement.

sabathia you'll get due credit for once he gets listed as signed on espn'com's free agent tracker. i guess there's still some t's to cross on the contract???

mike mussina also retired before the deadline, in case you were wondering why he's italicized like dempster.

But after my submission.

Losing. Faith.

metsmarathon
Dec 17 2008 01:21 PM

have i allowed it in the past? i'm not sure...

and if i were to allow it, then anyone who submitted their response after he signed would have an argument that you had a greater opportunity to amass correct predictions.

also, anybody who guessed his dollars and years would only have had an increased opportunity to guess incorrectly. so while helping some early respondents, i would be hurting others.

on jeopardy, if you try to buzz in before the question is fully read, your buzz doesn't count (it in fact triggers a delay). i am at least as fair as the standard set by jeopardy, despite the fact that i am certain i have a misapplied analogy.

The question was read Trebeck.

Judge our scores as percentages of the numbers of questions on the table at the time of our submissions.

the take away from this, aside from that the money thing and the list of players that omits frankie rodriguez made this suck, is that i know the least about the market of anybody. if i give edgy credit for ryan dempster, everybody got 6 teams correct, except for me. and i finished tied for last in terms of years given out, and just made last place for the money given out.

lets do this more simply and more better next year. ugh!

You may have chosen too many cats for whom there wasn't much of a market.

Big tie though. Cool. Let's do a tiebreaker queston.

]i'll hand out separate recognition to whoever guesses the teams best and whoever guesses the market best.

please feel free to only guess hte new team. heck, if you only want to guess the contracts, that'd be okay too.

i should've made 'em separate contests, i realize now.

i also should've waited for espn to come out with their top 50 free agents, and just use the top 25 off their list, instead of taking the type a and b free agents, thinking them to be of high enough qualioty that we'd care where tehy end up.

but please, if you onle want to guess the new team, go for it. my feelings won't be hurt.

IIRC Odalys Perez is also a free agent and he's not on that list.
The lefty starter had a 4.3 ERA last year, not bad, and Omar wouldn't have to pay the money to have Oliver Perez' uniforms renamed. Sounds like a match to me.

well, so far, mike mussina and dyan dempster both signed up before i closed the contest, so those who were prescient enough to have correctly guessed their fates get nothing.

and nobody else we're tracking has yet to show up as "signed" in espn.com's big ol' list of free agents.

so we're all tied up in the race for best prognosticator. like you care.

your leaders are:

teams: lunchbucket & irish (2), attgig (1)
dollars: me ($13M), irish ($14M), attgig ($17M)
years: everyone (4 years)

i'm still not sure how to treat irish's non-answer on renteria... i should probably dock him $9M and 2 years...

Whoah, not getting points for Dempster or Sabathia. Probably won't get get them for Furcal either if he goes through with his return to Atlanta.

I'm losing faith in the system.

dempster signed before the contest closed, ditto mussina's retirement.

sabathia you'll get due credit for once he gets listed as signed on espn'com's free agent tracker. i guess there's still some t's to cross on the contract???

mike mussina also retired before the deadline, in case you were wondering why he's italicized like dempster.

Losing. Faith.

Dec 17 2008 01:21 PM

have i allowed it in the past? i'm not sure...

and if i were to allow it, then anyone who submitted their response after he signed would have an argument that you had a greater opportunity to amass correct predictions.

also, anybody who guessed his dollars and years would only have had an increased opportunity to guess incorrectly. so while helping some early respondents, i would be hurting others.

on jeopardy, if you try to buzz in before the question is fully read, your buzz doesn't count (it in fact triggers a delay). i am at least as fair as the standard set by jeopardy, despite the fact that i am certain i have a misapplied analogy.

The question was read Trebeck.

the take away from this, aside from that the money thing and the list of players that omits frankie rodriguez made this suck, is that i know the least about the market of anybody. if i give edgy credit for ryan dempster, everybody got 6 teams correct, except for me. and i finished tied for last in terms of years given out, and just made last place for the money given out.

lets do this more simply and more better next year. ugh!

Apr 07 2009 09:31 AM

You may have chosen too many cats for whom there wasn't much of a market.

Big tie though. Cool. Let's do a tiebreaker queston.

metsmarathon · November 22, 2008

="Nymr83"]

="DocTee"]Too much-- New team is enough to gauge.

i agree and thats the way we've done it in the past, i guess start another thread if you want to track that i'd participate.

]i'll hand out separate recognition to whoever guesses the teams best and whoever guesses the market best.

please feel free to only guess hte new team. heck, if you only want to guess the contracts, that'd be okay too.

i should've made 'em separate contests, i realize now.

i also should've waited for espn to come out with their top 50 free agents, and just use the top 25 off their list, instead of taking the type a and b free agents, thinking them to be of high enough qualioty that we'd care where tehy end up.

but please, if you onle want to guess the new team, go for it. my feelings won't be hurt.

IIRC Odalys Perez is also a free agent and he's not on that list.
The lefty starter had a 4.3 ERA last year, not bad, and Omar wouldn't have to pay the money to have Oliver Perez' uniforms renamed. Sounds like a match to me.

well, so far, mike mussina and dyan dempster both signed up before i closed the contest, so those who were prescient enough to have correctly guessed their fates get nothing.

and nobody else we're tracking has yet to show up as "signed" in espn.com's big ol' list of free agents.

so we're all tied up in the race for best prognosticator. like you care.

your leaders are:

teams: lunchbucket & irish (2), attgig (1)
dollars: me ($13M), irish ($14M), attgig ($17M)
years: everyone (4 years)

i'm still not sure how to treat irish's non-answer on renteria... i should probably dock him $9M and 2 years...

December 17, 2008

Whoah, not getting points for Dempster or Sabathia. Probably won't get get them for Furcal either if he goes through with his return to Atlanta.

I'm losing faith in the system.

metsmarathon · December 17, 2008

dempster signed before the contest closed, ditto mussina's retirement.

sabathia you'll get due credit for once he gets listed as signed on espn'com's free agent tracker. i guess there's still some t's to cross on the contract???

mike mussina also retired before the deadline, in case you were wondering why he's italicized like dempster.

But after my submission.

Losing. Faith.

have i allowed it in the past? i'm not sure...

and if i were to allow it, then anyone who submitted their response after he signed would have an argument that you had a greater opportunity to amass correct predictions.

also, anybody who guessed his dollars and years would only have had an increased opportunity to guess incorrectly. so while helping some early respondents, i would be hurting others.

on jeopardy, if you try to buzz in before the question is fully read, your buzz doesn't count (it in fact triggers a delay). i am at least as fair as the standard set by jeopardy, despite the fact that i am certain i have a misapplied analogy.

The question was read Trebeck.

Judge our scores as percentages of the numbers of questions on the table at the time of our submissions.

the take away from this, aside from that the money thing and the list of players that omits frankie rodriguez made this suck, is that i know the least about the market of anybody. if i give edgy credit for ryan dempster, everybody got 6 teams correct, except for me. and i finished tied for last in terms of years given out, and just made last place for the money given out.

lets do this more simply and more better next year. ugh!

You may have chosen too many cats for whom there wasn't much of a market.

Big tie though. Cool. Let's do a tiebreaker queston.

have i allowed it in the past? i'm not sure...

and if i were to allow it, then anyone who submitted their response after he signed would have an argument that you had a greater opportunity to amass correct predictions.

also, anybody who guessed his dollars and years would only have had an increased opportunity to guess incorrectly. so while helping some early respondents, i would be hurting others.

on jeopardy, if you try to buzz in before the question is fully read, your buzz doesn't count (it in fact triggers a delay). i am at least as fair as the standard set by jeopardy, despite the fact that i am certain i have a misapplied analogy.

The question was read Trebeck.

Judge our scores as percentages of the numbers of questions on the table at the time of our submissions.
