Type A's get you that and you steal the other team's first rounder (if it's not in the first 10 picks) or second rounder (if their 1st was protected). I love the Prior signing. It seems like he could either work his way back to full strength as a reliever or join the rotation full-time in August, and a couple million is chicken feed for that. But it would still be great to have another pitcher better than Rusch/Estes/Etc to start the season.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-132865">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 17: For Type B’s you get a supplemental 1st rounder.

I'm hoping for it though. 16: I don't know if we get a first round or not. I think Cameron was a Class B FA for some reason. Do you still get a first rounder for Class B or just Class A?<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-132855">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 12: You’re probably right I’m being too pessimistic about Edmonds upside.

One thing to note is that if Edmonds and Cameron come out to be pretty comparable, it works out better for us because we get that 1st round compensation pick for Cameron somewhere in the #35-45 pick range.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-132853">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 12.

Are there any viable OF options left out their on the FA market, or do we need to go the way of the trade now? I'm assuming that we could still flip Barrett for something, but we'd have to find another back-up catcher.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-132852">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 11: Fick is on a minor league deal.

I think Prior still believes he can contribute and pitch well because he only wanted a 1 year deal so he can get a big contract next year. If he thought he was done, he would have looked for that 2 year deal somewhere with an extra year of guaranteed money<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-132850">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I like the Prior signing quite a bit.

However, I think there's a little upside left with Edmonds. I'd guess that if Edmonds defies the odds and actually stays healthy, we'll be getting the 2005 or 2006 model. Even in 2006 he posted a 110 OPS+, which would probably be an upgrade on Cameron. If he does that, then he probably has comparable value to Cameron with worse defense, a little better hitting, and playing a few more games. The problem is that there's such a small chance of him actually staying healthy. 8: If the front office believes that Hairston or Davanon can play a passable center field and Headley can play a passable left, that team is probably complete. Not sure I believe that though. Looks like the success of the season is going to come down to Edmonds, Wolf, and Prior staying more healthy than they've been and Hairston or Headley hitting in the majors like they did the in the minors.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-132849">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 7: Agree about the Cameron-Edmonds comparison and the most likely scenario.
