We have 109 rookies that can be resigned at the end of the season. With that in mind, I see a possibility that eight *might* get huge 4+ year deals.
SJS is light on cash, but has CA Chris Iannetta. Look for SJS to go with a three-catcher roster next year, and resign their sensation to a 4/16 deal.
WHW has 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff. The 27 yr old is probably the least likely rookie on this list, but he could see a 4/16 deal. West Huron's 3B position is up for grabs between KK, Figgins and Guillen.
EAT has the cash to spend and has three potential studs on their pitching staff to choose from. Brandon Morrow is turning into the Easies' closer-of-the-future and might get closer money to resign. Kevin Slowey is a 24 yr old #1 starter and could see the only 5/25 deal. Andrew Miller has the reputation, but not the numbers. He's just 23 and should be locked up for 4 more years.
LAS has Ublado Jimenez to make a solid rotation even younger. LAS has tons of cash and Ubaldo should get 16M of it!
RBC has SP John Danks. While low on cash, a 4/16 to Danks should be justified. Danks, Lincecum and Halladay will make RBC's top 3 SP one of the best in the DBA.
RID has SP Mike Pelfrey. Giving Pelfrey a four-year deal completes the RID rotation. Pelfrey and Lester will make a solid 1-2.
I don't see any other rookies that stand out as "must have 4/16". We are changing the rookie system starting next year, so this will be the last year of 4M per year deals. The new system is explained on the forum.
