This probably isn't very realistic

but what happens if a Type A or B doesn’t sign with anyone or signs abroad (ie Japan)? Does the team still get compensation or not?

defensive charts

The defensive charts for 2008 are now available here. These provide a nice visualization of the probabilistic model of range. Chase Utley’s charts, for example, shows how well he does on ground balls toward first base….

here’s alexei @ 2B

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

If I'm reading it right

Alexei is about average, and is better at ranging to his left; this much we knew.

I’m sure OC realized it would have been bad for both sides had he picked arbitration. I don’t really like the guy all that much, but I didn’t hate him. He just doesn’t really fit into our plans anymore.
