I'm liking the Royals chances to resign Gordo.... I will go into a mini depression should they fail to do this.

It still seems somewhat unlikely but I dont think the Cardinals are going after him heavily. Its been leaked that they are going after Leake and I think that would be a better signing for STL

Competitively, I would rather the dogs get Leake (I am not sold on their competitiveness right now), but the fan in me would rather see him go to the Cards.

I realize the Giants were apparently not that impressed by him in his short tenure, but I think he will end up being one of the better deals coming out of this FA class.

I totally agree. He has always been durable and dependable. I have no idea why things didn't work out with the Giants and Leake but he's a good pitcher who can handle a bat.

Upton to Stros is the only wow choice IMO and that's only because I am hoping the owner realizes what he's got going and looks to get them over the hump. I think the Giants are only players in the Greinke sweepstakes to drive the price into oblivion for the Doyers. Like Cal said, I see the Giants being pretty active in trade talks with plenty of ML ready assets and cheddar to burn to the tune of 50 mil.

With just Cespedes remaining from the top 10...

calsnowskier - Accurately had Cueto to the Giants and Davis staying in Baltimore.
Arizona_Sting - Had Gordon staying in KC. He gave 5 additional guesses and missed 4 of them (only Desmond is still out there)
Clayton - Had Davis staying in Baltimore and Gordon staying in KC. He offered up an additional prediction as well, but got it wrong.
Dredinis21 - Got Gordon and Davis. However, he hedged his bet with Cueto and missed BOTH TIMES.

Everyone had Cespedes staying with the Mets except Clayton, who had him going to the Angels.
