2009/10 Free Agent Prediction Contest

[metsmarathon]

so i'll kick this off right now. i don't think anyone on here has been picked up by any team yet... if they have, too bad. you better not get them wrong!

so feel free to place your picks as for where these 33 players will land. i don't need salary figures, or years, or your opinions on what any team should do - only where you think each of these 33 players will land.

please submit your entries by midnight sunday, EST. if any of these players sign on with a team before then, they don't count in the final tally. sorry if you guessed right.

also, if you guess that a player will remain unsigned OR if you think the player will retire, i count those the same. if you guessed that a player will remain unsigned, and he signs a minor league deal, i'll consider that a [u:bu1l67uw]correct [/u:bu1l67uw]answer. if you guessed that a player will be signed by, say, the mets, and he signs a minor league deal with the mets, i will also consider that a [u:bu1l67uw]correct [/u:bu1l67uw]answer. if you think that a player will sign a minor league deal with the mets, but he signs a minor league deal with teh yankees, i will consider that an [u:bu1l67uw]incorrect [/u:bu1l67uw]answer.

have fun, and get to guessing!

The Mets continue to look at potential one-year platoon options at first base, reportedly checking in yesterday with well-traveled Russell Branyan and Nick Johnson.

http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/mets/mets_take_first_look_at_veterans_KbscwYkpzmv2NS6Kjy55bL

I like these one year stop gap plans for first base because I can then dream that the Mets real strategy for the position is to go all in on Albert Pujols in 2011.

[metsmarathon]

ashie, pick one - andy pettite retired, or andy pettite re-signs with the yankees. also, i assume you mean that pedro martinez will remain unsigned through the duration of this contest, correct?

i should probably say that the contest will end either when all subject players have either signed or announced their retirements, or the onset of spring training, whichever comes first.

if anybody else out there wants to get in their guesses, you've got a rapidly closing window whilst i finish populating the tally sheet....

we're pretty sure that aroldis chapman will be a yankee, that ben sheets will be a met, and that ryota igarishi will be a mariner. we have no clue what will be come of nick johnson, placido polanco, marco scutaro, rich harden, or erik bedard.

and the teams with the most picks are...
NYM 28
NYY 16 or 17
BOS 16
SEA 13
ATL 11
STL 11
LAD 9
PHI 9
BAL 7
HOU 7
OAK 7
WAS 7
with 5 players either unsigned or retired

nobody thinks that any of these free agents will call ohio their home state next year.

please stay tuned. i'll try to keep this updated as best as possible, though that likely hinges on two things - one, how well i'm doing, and two, how busy i get after the kid is born (and he could be born any day now!)

Whoah! Pedro's coming back?!

We get Wolf, Piniero, and Pedro? Hot dog!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Dam-nit. Meant Pineiro to go Cards. But that is a nice thought, innit?

[ashie62]

ashie, pick one - andy pettite retired, or andy pettite re-signs with the yankees. also, i assume you mean that pedro martinez will remain unsigned through the duration of this contest, correct?

i should probably say that the contest will end either when all subject players have either signed or announced their retirements, or the onset of spring training, whichever comes first.

if anybody else out there wants to get in their guesses, you've got a rapidly closing window whilst i finish populating the tally sheet....[/quote:1mj53fne]


Oopski! I meant MFY..Thanks!

[metsmarathon]

i'll add in lwfs's above picks, including piniero to stl (boo!), and i'll correct ashie's pettitte pick tomorrow.

last last call.

[metsmarathon]

any other takers?

sign up now while, against my better judgement, i'm still allowing billy wagner as an open question...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Matt Holiday? A Met, I say! By Christmas time of course
Jason Bay will run and play on San Francisco wharfs

Lackey, he is Dodger bound, he'll say nice things 'bout Torre
Joel Pineiro? Boston hero --- that's my fucking story

Aroldis and his purple crayon? Chi-town with the Cubs
Pettitte dies a Yankee, talking to no other clubs

Back to Philly, Randy Wolf --- that's where he'll survive
Orlando Hudson to the Mets; I don't think that he'll thrive

Felipe Lopez, no one trusts, so he'll end up with Texas
Ex-Cubans like Arguelles float to-ward the Yankee nexus

Chone Figgins heads to Houston-town, made rich by oil and cattle
Cameron returns to spawn, swims upstream to Seattle

Nick Johnson --- HA! --- Nick Johnson? --- HO! --- I guess Cleveland, maybe
Polanco spends his final days in Tampa/St. Pete, baby!

Scutaro to Atlanta, folks --- I hope so, 'cuz he'll suck
Gonzalez, Mike, the Yanks will like --- they'll back up Hank's cash truck

Ben Sheets, Ben Sheets, will suck the teats of Wilpon and the Mets
Tejada-time in Anaheim, that's where I'll place my bets

Soriano? Sucks, hermano, but you'll be Rockie
Harden gets rich from the Cubs --- watch it make him cocky

Brad Penny gets from Boston an incentive-laden dealie
To Arizona, Johnny D. --- your wife will get all peely

For Wagner, they'll play "Enter Blandman" down there in Atlanta
Garland's gwine to be a Ray (not "Devil," neither "Manta")

Ryota Igarashi we will see in San Diego
Matsui quits and does cocaine, gets busted in Tobago

Beltre, he plays at third base --- the Reds need one of those
I think Bedard will be a Card --- they'll like the way he throws

LaRoche returned to Braveland and they'll keep him there this time
Olivo in for Varitek in Boston's urban grime

Marquis, Marquis, mine eye doth see a Colorado summer
Pete says bye, and all will cry --- Dominicano bummer

Delgado to Toronto, man, you know he's heading home
The truth is I have no idea, so wrote a crappy poem

[MFS62]

Well, I thought it was pretty good.
But since you called it crappy yourself, I'm not going to nominate it.
Sometimes you can be your own worst critic.

Later

Oh, OK

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nice.

Beats Ed Charles.

Fixed. Updated by Polanco pick, too, after reading my own paper...

[metsmarathon]

i'm hoping billy fails his physical so y'all johnny-come-latelies get him wrong. especially since at least one of youze is going to make my transcribing a wee bit more difficult than it needs to be.

rhyming - sheesh!
