I'd bet my left and right nut that Bradley, Dempster, Soriano, and Zambrano weren't on that list of twelve.

Although, I imagine Zambrano would get claimed.

In this market I don't think any team would risk being on the hook for another 4 years at roughly $18M per year. In fact, if it did occur and Hendry didn't pull the trigger it should be a fireable offense.

I'm really glad you're not a general manager.

So let me get this straight. If Carlos Zambrano was a free agent, you think someone would sign him today to a 4 yr / $72M deal? Really? That is essentially what you are saying.
