Compensation

[Richmond Bird 9]

A question on compensation. There are 8 soon to be 7 (Lowe to ATL) type A F/A's that all avail and have declined club arbitration. Manny I think will go back to LAD, Varitek and Cruz, I think very badly misplayed their hands. That leaves Hudson/Cabrera/Sheets/Perez who may have to take less then they had hope for.

What happens to Varitek and Cruz if no one signs them.

RotoWorld in Nov/2008 had the following players going to/at:

Varitek....R/S.....2/16

Hudson...W/S.....4/40

Manny....S/F......4/88

Cabrera...A's......3/30

Sheets....R/S......2/28

Perez.....LAA......4/52

Cruz......Tex.......2/10

Will any come close ??
