    I was hoping someone would post that too. I was wondering how long it took until after the season before we would know for sure. Tejada is at the very low end of an A, though I still doubt he would get offered. Byrdak & Brocail are both rated as Bs, and I think Byrdak may still be under club control for one more year while I doubt they offer Brocail, though I would prefer they did(Just on the off chance he rejects, or the fact that he actually is a decent pitcher still when healthy). By this, Blum just misses being a class B.

    Matsui is actually a class B player according to this, though not a FA this year, above Jimmy Rollins. :eek:

    Man, thats pretty high. I thought they would be in the 10-15 range. Usually at the 8 spot, you can draft a guy that slipped out of the top 5. I just hope they keep tanking.

    Hockey season has started but I watched parts of the game. Tejada's been on a nice streak. I hope Bourn breaks the steals mark.

    Unfortunately, that can't happen. Both teams are in the Eastern Conf.

    If you like the matchup, the fact that they play in the same conference and are both built to be good for several years means you should see a few more playoff series between the teams.

    I think Toews > Kane.

    I also think Malkin > Crosby but Crosby is over a year younger. Pittsburgh's top duo is absolutely r****ded good. They are the closest thing to Lemieux/Jagr or Gretzky/Messier this league has seen in a long time.

    Ovechkin/Backstrom/Semin may be the best trio in the league though.

    Oh, wait, this is the Astros forum...

    I saw Towles hit a couple of dingers yesterday. That should help his confidence a little. I'd like to see the organization pick 2 out of 3 between Castro, Towles and Quintero to start out next season and devote resources elsewhere. I read that Castro may be ready to make the big club right out of ST next season but I'm not sure that will happen. If not, let's go with Towles/Quintero no matter how much either or both struggle.
