...and STILL come up hungry. Two observations -

1) their real starting 1B isn't even on the list;

2) Dmitri Young is worth more than $1 !!

Back to the drawing board Greg!

Just a heads up that Kendry Morales is UT-only to start the season. He played 12 games in right field and 6 at first base. He won't earn first base eligibility in the NFBC until he plays 10 games at first base in 2009.

31. Dan Johnson, T.B. $1That's great value for a guy playing in Japan.
