Where will they go?

November 09, 2011 at 04:03AM View BBCode

I noticed MLBTR's Free Agent Prediction Contest thing, and figured what everyone's opinions are on where some of the players might end up. Where do you think the top 10 (below, and according to MLBTR) will end up?

PLAYER, POS, CURRENT TEAM
Albert Pujols, 1B, STL
Prince Fielder, 1B, MIL
Jose Reyes, SS, NYM
CJ Wilson, LHP, TEX
Yu Darvish, RHP, Japan
Edwin Jackson, RHP, STL
Jimmy Rollins, SS, PHI
Aramis Ramirez, 3B, CHC
Carlos Beltran, OF, SF
Jonathan Papelbon, RHP, BOS

I say

Pujols- Stays in STL
Pujols, the fans, and the Cardinals all want him back there. Sounds like it'll work. Presumably.
Fielder- Signs with SF
Milwaukee isn't gonna make too much of a push for him, and the Giants are looking to build their offense. If Reyes goes to SF first, I see him, possibly as a Cub. Because Theo likes to make a splash.
Reyes- Signs with SF
San Francisco needs help in the middle of their infield and a bat, both of which Reyes can bring. If Fielder goes to SF first, Reyes might go to Milwaukee.
Wilson- Stays in TEX
He likes Texas, Texas does well with him. Except in October, but as long as they get there, Ron Washington looks pretty happy while he's pretending to be the 3B coach from the dugout.
Darvish- Signs with NYY
Possibly. Maybe that's just me being hopeful that we get a good starter, and that he doesn't flop like Kei Igawa. Ugh. Kei Igawa
Jackson- Signs with FLA (or Miami. Whatever you wanna call it)
Could it be? Will Edwin Jackson be with a team for more than a season?
Rollins- Signs with WAS
I don't see him staying in Philadelphia, and while Washington needs help at short, they can't quite give Jose Reyes the kinda money he will demand (oh wait, maybe, as we learned from Jayson Werth), so they will go for Rollins.
Ramirez- Signs with FLA
Eh, why not?
Beltran- Stays in SF
The Giants need him, to some degree. I expect he'll probably be manning the outfield alongside Melky.
Papelbon- Signs with ?
Yeah...I wasn't sure. It's a toss up here.
