HF,

In re: to your RAR/$ projections, the most disgusting fact is this; nearly all those players are in the decline phases of their careers, and the length of some of the deals (Soriano 8 years, Pierre 5 years, Speier 4 years) is astonishing.

And when you consider that most of the deals are at least somewhat backloaded, it looks like a horrible future. For example, $4.8M/win in 2007 will likely be by far the best value the Cubs will receive during the life of that contract.
