We better get this going. I'll keep track and put up a chart once players start signing.

You'll get one point for each correct pick. I'm limiting these FAs to 20...sorry.

You can submit your list whenever you want to, but if your list is submitted via this thread after a FA signs, then you will not receive the points for that FA if you picked the destination team correctly.

Here are your Free Agents, where are they signing?:

Prince Fielder
Albert Pujols
Jose Reyes
Yu Darvish
Jimmy Rollins
C.J. Wilson
Aramis Ramirez
Carlos Beltran
Edwin Jackson
Mark Buehrle
Ryan Madson
Jonathan Papelbon
David Ortiz
Kelly Johnson
Roy Oswalt
Heath Bell
Francisco Rodriguez
Josh Willingham
Michael Cuddyer

Re: 2011-2012 Free Agent Contest

So, does anyone know how we have scored players who accept arbitration in the past?

David Ortiz has accepted arbitration from Boston, so I'm thinking that he'll stay with the Red Sox. However, Frankie Rodriguez has accepted arbitration from the Brewers, but everything that I have seen says that they will most liekly trade him. Should I award points based on the arbitration acceptance team or the team where the player ultimately ends up?

if a player accepts arbitration, they are signing with their prior team. that they may then be traded does not alter the signing, nor invalidate hte free agent contest points.

Rumlings are that the Blue Jays got the high bid on Yu Darvish, which helps no one and that Michael Cuddyer could be headed to the Rockies which is good for JCL and smg58.

I don't think 2 and 25 would be unreasonable for Kuroda.

Reports are circulating that Ryan Madson is going to the Reds for one year and $8.5M. I think Alderson may have reacted too quickly in making bullpen moves.
