FrRFA's from 2/9 ...

The first set of auctions are complete.

2/4/2009 10:25:01 : Saint Gabriel offered $64,000,000

ILL keeps the services of Miguel Cabrera as no one wanted to put 81M into a player with an above average offensive card and a horrible defensive one :-).  If Miguel stays healthy, this could be a steal at 8M.  That defense will need to move back to a 4 in order to get much PT at anything other than DH.  Look for Cabrera to platoon with Carlos at DH, and some spot starts at the corner IF positions.

2/4/2009 11:08:50 : Carbondale offered $37,000,000 + $12,000,000 RFA fee

CDC steals one of the best offensive cards in the game from WHW (no match).  WHW was happy to take the 12M fee and walk away, since a 36 yr old isn't really rebuilding material, but 12M is.  Chipper will take over at 3b and turn the CDC offense into a Top 5 force, just behind ELR and LVP in the CY.  Good signing for the Dog Catchers this year.  Will Chipper hold up throughout the contract?
