In hindsight, would accepting arbitration have been better?
River Ave. Blues (Free subscription) | 31/12/2008
... class of 2009, noting that it’s not nearly as top-heavy as this year’s talent. The top pitcher, John Lackey, might not even make it to free agency. Matt Holliday is a very good hitter, but after him there’s not much unless Vlad Guerrero can stay healthy. That is, unless you count Chipper Jones, who is a decently safe bet to stay with Atlanta. So why didn’t a few more free agents accept...

Mike Napoli : Continue to hit for power and baffle idiot sportswriters who think you should be benched for someone who hit .194/.275/.318 . Torii Hunter : Make more “Hanging with Mr. Hunter” videos.

MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com (Free subscription) | 18/12/2008
Since it's more of a reference, I didn't allow comments on our 2010 MLB Free Agents post. This post will be the place for readers to comment on these players, who we'll be talking about constantly a year from now (although some will sign extensions). Random thoughts: Scott Boras' top guys for the 2009-10 offseason: Adrian Beltre, Johnny Damon, Matt Holliday, Rick Ankiel, and Ryan Madson. He's...

The San Francisco Giants continued to climb and cracked the Top 5 at #4 with the Cubs rounding out the Top 5.

Moyer’s Contract Year

Roy Halladay made $10M in 2008, and will make $14.5M in 2009. Brandon Webb made $5.5M in 2008 and will make $6.5M (the same as Moyer) in 2009.

Next year's free-agent pitching crop is highlighted by John Lackey. … Pitchers Brandon Webb and Roy Halladay are eligible after 2010, but the guess here is Webb gets locked up by the Arizona Diamondbacks before then and Halladay could be traded by the Toronto Blue Jays and signed to an extension by another club. … Dallas Stars winger Sean...

Ken, let's say Sabathia sign with the Angels. What do the Angels do with John Lackey? Lackey will make $9 million next year and will become a free agent in 2009. Assuming Sabathia gets what he wants, Lackey is going to want close to what Sabathia is going to make.Your overrated and over-hated list you put together is good, but I have some issues with it. You did not list...

... to sign before everything else gets decided. And don’t forget, the Angels still have to extend John Lackey whose contract is up after this season. Expect them to pour around $90 million over five years into Lackey, just like the Cubs did with Zambrano. How could they afford to extend Lackey AND sign Sabathia without addressing their offense? They can’t, which is why...

Halos Heaven (Free subscription) | 24/11/2008
Despite the fact that his fathering Andy LaRoche inadvertently brought Jason Bay to the Red Sox to homer off of John Lackey in the ALDS, Lefty Dave LaRoche moves up 1 spot from our Post-2005 Top 100 Angels list. Here is the writeup about Dave from then... Dave LaRoche was a lefty version of Scot Shields with more junk pitching and a moustache. He was the set-up man in a solid pen in the...
