[The Summary Guy]

Washington : 3B Morgan Ensberg, 3,000,000 per year, for 1 year.
Washington : P Todd Wellemeyer, 500,000 per year, for 3 years.

Don't know why exactly I needed ensberg, but I need bats, so i went out and got some. Now I have to figure out what i was thinking when offering ensberg. Hopefully I can get some other guys to give my terrible offense a push next year also

[Saber]

Nnnooooooo!!!!!!!!

[Fishercat]

*takes a crowbar to the knees of McKain*

I didn't make Howard an offer, but anyone who got him was getting a crowbar to the knees.

Got McPherson so I don't have to start Jake Blalock at 3B from one side of the plate, and Fossum as an emergency guy I can stash away for a while in case I need him.

[missionhockey21]

Everything is up.

I am kind of surprised Renteria didn't get one offer. I thought someone would give him a 10 mil a year deal for 5 and then soon regret it when the fall happens. Hmm.

[Fishercat]

You didn't get my Renteria offer Mish?

[Impossibles]

WTF...

[Halladay_is_God]

Toronto : RF Luke Allen, 2,500,000 per year, for 2 years.

St. Pierre i needed a back up catcher bad
i over-paid for Spurling oh well i need a closer who can get the job done

[DiamondDave]

I made the one signing I needed to.... 4 pitchers of High quality on Baltimore now... Williams, Meyer, and Rincon at 4 stars... Stumm at 3.5... formidable foursome... lineup still powerful... SWEEEEEEEEET

[Porter]

Arizona : P Rich Harden, 6,000,000 per year, for 4 years.
Arizona : SS Chone Figgins, 750,000 per year, for 3 years.
Arizona : C Miguel Olivo, 500,000 per year, for 2 years.
Arizona : P John Lackey, 3,000,000 per year, for 3 years.
Arizona : SS Jose Lopez, 3,000,000 per year, for 5 years.
Arizona : P Ismael Valdes, 1,000,000 per year, for 1 year.

I added a lot of depth and 3/5ths of my rotation now i can start working the pen.

[DiamondDave]

Suprised Harden went that cheap... 3rd best pitcher in the market, I figured close to 8 or so

[Chesney]

I offered more, but he didn't like my organization. Maybe he limited his market by not listening to offers. I also offered Williams more than what he signed for, but he wouldn't listen to my offer either. lol
