So I did one thing right (I think?) by leaving VMart off the list because I thought him signing with the Tigers was way too easy for everybody who's picking for themselves.

Yeah. That was a no-brainer.

Would it have been too gauche if I had just sent a ballot of all 20 players listed as dead? Because I almost did.

Eventually this will be correct about all 20 players so I guess you sort of would have won in the long run.

That's not a bad idea, but they can't ALL sign with the 1976 Astros.

If Miller signs to a team, then dies, what is that counted as?

Just to throw this out there, I would have been at least -18 if I'd been playing this year instead of keeping score.

Just a heads up tadashi, you have Aramis Ramirez and Cuddyer on the spreadsheet and not Adam LaRoache and Nick Markakis.

Also a link to the spreadsheet in the OP would be super.

Thanks for the head's up. I updated the OP and the sheet.

:siren:
If you correctly identified the White Sox slow creep on the AL Central and their past penchant for 1B/DH types, you may have picked Adam LaRoche as the next 1B/DH for the South Siders.

1 point to Rand alPaul to push him into the lead with a score of -6.
Kundu wins this round with 7 points on the White Sox to raise his score to a respectable -11.

Spreadsheet is updated with scores and the correct Master List. http://bit.ly/1tb7a0n

Surprised nobody had Ramirez to the Red Sox. Though at least a ton of other people picked the Yankees so I don't feel bad.

I'll wait to tally these up until the signings are official. Sounds like Sandoval's agent has said he's still listening to other offers.

The Sandoval signing is not officially announced but pretty much every writer I can find is ready to call it a deal so I'm going to go ahead and score him on the spreadsheet and hope I don't have to reverse course.

E: Which means Infidel Castro is now in the black and in the lead!

Aw man and this isn't even counting Hanley Ramirez, who will probably also sign with the Sox. Plus most of my other picks were based on Boston failing to sign either. I feel my slate collapsing like a house of cards. :negative:

Yasmany Thomas did not retire nor was he deported to Cuba. He did sign with the Arizona Diamondbacks, which nobody guessed. Nobody guessed that the Red Sox would sign Hanley Ramirez, either.
