Let's keep track of (and mock) all of this winter's crazy offseason activity in this thread. RAR projections are for this year only; if you want to look at how they will age, subtract 3.2 runs per year for position players, 2 runs per year for starting pitchers, and 0.7 runs per year for relievers. $/win is calculated based on the value of the contract in 2007 dollars and on the overall expected value of the player (aging accounted for) over the life of the contract. I'll just list the 25 or so largest contracts here... this post would get ridiculously long if I tried to include every single signing.

Chris Carpenter: 3 years, $47.5 million, 47 RAR - $2.6m/win
J.D. Drew: 5 years, $70 million, 45 RAR - $2.9m/win
