I didn't pick it but really want a team to end up with Upton and Heyward just like every OOTP team I make.

You did not pick a destination for Cespedes, do you want me to put one in?

He believes Cespedes will go unsigned.

Actually, that would've been a fun option for some of these.

I miss choosing "death" and "suspended", like I did for many last year.

Now that I think about it, last year before the signings started we gave each FA a numerical value (from 1-10) that reflected how certain we were that they would sign with that team. I guess it's too late to do that now.

I think a fun tweak would be to reward unique guesses. Like if 10 people were correct with a safe guess, great, but only 1 or 2 people made a weird guess and got it right it could be worth more. How much more? beats me, friend.

It was 1-20 but yeah. Gain those points if they sign there, lose them if they don't.

let's say you get (total number of entrants) - (total number of entrants with the correct pick for x player) points for each signing?

I just realized that Wieters not only cost a lot of us a pick initially by staying in Baltimore but that's probably money that will cost us another pick later when they don't have the money to sign another guy we thought they would sign. Stupid jerk.
