2009-2010 Reverse Engineered Elias Free Agent Rankings
I hope I did this right, it's my first FanShot.
Some of the players listed (like Albert) will never reach free agency since their teams hold options that may be picked up.
What's intriguing is that Adam Dunn, Carlos Pena, Adam Laroche and Aubrey Huff are all Type B Free Agents.
So, should we spend the big bucks on Dunn or maybe take that same money that he will demand and go after a combination of players such as Laroche, Garland & Putz?

Question on when Ricketts will actually be able to have an impact
by Southside Steve on Jan 26, 2009 2:10 PM EST
on Bleed Cubbie Blue
I'm just an average die hard fan and haven't closely followed the proceedings in the Tribune Company's bankruptcy. From what I've gathered from reading some of the posts here, am I correct that the bid made by Rickett's will first have to be gone over by the Trib, their creditors and the bankruptcy court before the sale can be approved and only then be submitted to major League Baseball for approval by the owners ? If all this is true, what time frame are we looking at before Ricketts can make some decisions as to payroll, player acquisitions, etc ?
I'm hoping that people more familiar with this type of thing can give us an educated estimate.
thanks !
