Not sure what you guys think, but some of the none tender names are surprising the hell out of me.
In particular: Jonny Gomes, Ryan Church and Kelly Johnson.
I'm sure it won't take them long to find new homes, but guys who were FA before this have to be wondering if their market is shrinking....btw, Kelly Johnson would look great in Detroit.

Capps was non-tendered....as predicted!
Raul Chavez is a surprise for me since Toronto doesn't have 1 single catcher now.....
Remember Adam Miller? The one who was in the top 3 Indians prospects for what seemed like forever? Non-tendered. Can't stay healthy, so I can't blame them, but he has so much talent.
John Buck and Josh Anderson in KC, perfect match in TO. We need both a catcher and someone who can run balls down in the OF when Wells gets too tires (7th inning or so...lol)
It'll be interesting to see where Cust ends up.

"While Capps can still choose to negotiate with the Pirates, it's most likely that his career in Pittsburgh is now over. Despite his struggles last season, multiple teams have shown interest in the 26-year-old right-hander, believing that he can bounce back and be a successful pitcher in the back end of a bullpen again." Interesting. Well, if he is a major holds guy instead of a closer then he has the same value to me right now. Actually, that might heighten his value to me while lowering his trade value at the moment. Still will sign him long term tho.

Can't believe the Giants non-tendered Garko. That is ridiculous.

Either way not tendering a contract for $1-$2M for Garko who they traded Alderson for is stupid. Rumors are they might give big money for LaRoche too. Trading young talent for Uggla is dumb. Arghhh. Sabean is horrible.

Lol, at least you didn't have to live with JP Ricciardi for close to a decade. He made all of 3 pertinent trades in 9 years....great GM!
