LEB cashes in on another player, this time its SP Chris Young.  Another 10M in the TREAS makes the Holliday resigning just 15M!  Young will take 18 starts away from Kyle Lohse (always a good thing!) and add on another win to the Aces total.  However, everything is not all rosey with this signing, as Young's injury history will loom large over the 5-yr life of the deal.  If ALT gets another 700 IP over the next 4 years, he's a steal.

BRW loses out on another FrRFA!  Welcome to the league, Tyke :-).  Harden returns to the Rattlers at below-market for this year, but his injury history might catch up to him as well.  He replaces most of Brett Myers' starts in the rotation, plus a few of Looper's as well.  A huge upgrade for RID, gaining +3 wins.  This puts Harden (27), Lester (25) and Pelfrey (25) at the top of this rotation.
