		<description>24: I don't see it happening.  It was just a list of potential free agents that have hit well enough this year to be among the top 100 VORP leaders at this point in the season.&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-67404"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Here's the wild-card standing as of today:
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/standings?year=season_2007&#38;type=wild+card

You don't see a team under the Padres that would claim him?
Not that the Padres should anyway but I don't see him falling to the organization.&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-67368"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>18: ARod is going to want crazy money. Only about 4 teams will be able to afford that: LAnaheim Angels, Yankees, Red Sox, and perhaps, Dodgers.

I don't see the Padres getting into the crazy bidding pool, do you?
Andruw Jones, I'm curious about but I wonder what length of contract is he looking for?&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-67366"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>20: Are you nuts? No way he'd pass waivers. The gigantic contract he got is not going to be offset by the performance the rest of the season. Plus, he's Barry 'circus-r-us' Bonds.&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-67365"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
