    Re: Predict the FA contest

    Manny Ramirez - NYY - $25 mil, 4 years
    Ken Griffey Jr. - SEA - $7 mil, 1 year
    Mark Teixeira - LAA - $22 mil, 7 years - Wrong team, very close on the salary and length (Yanks 8 years, $22.5 mil)
    Jeff Kent - Retirement
    Pat Burrell - NYM - $12 mil, 4 years - Way off (Tampa Bay, 2 years, $8 mil)
    Adam Dunn- ARI - $14 mil, 4 years
    Ben Sheets - LAD - $18 mil, 4 years
    C.C. Sabathia - NYY - $25 mil, 6 years - Close enough. (7 years, $23 mil)
    Derek Lowe - NYM - $16 mil, 3 years
    Ryan Dempster - CHC - $12 mil, 4 years - Close enough. (4 years, $13 mil)
    A.J. Burnett - TOR - $15 mil, 4 years - Wrong team, close on salary and length (Yanks, 5 years, $16.5 mil)
    Brian Fuentes - DET - $11 mil, 4 years - Way off. (Angels, 2 years, $8.75 mil)
    Francisco Rodriguez - NYM - $15 mil, 5 years - Correct team. Way off on the details. The reliever market seems to have corrected itself from the crazy 4 year deals to Linebrink/Spieir type relievers (Mets, 3 years, $12.3 mil)
    Jason Isringhausen - TEX - $6 mil, 1 years

    I dunno...maybe I read an online 'rumor' before I filled the thing out...

    I'm sure that wasn't the worst prediction that anyone predicted

    It was also made, I think, before stuff like the Swisher trade happened.

    Well to be honest, when you predict a closer to net an 100 million dollar contract(give/take a few million), you are bound to do bad. Espically when you predict a Beane team being the one to give the 100 million dollar contract
