The funny thing about the Orioles is that could re-sign Ponson and still reap the benefits of the young arms they got in return for him from the Giants. Baltimore dealt very well at the deadline with Ponson and Jeff Conine. I don't see them contending for the playoffs, but at least they could move up from 4th place.
The other thing I noticed about that list is that Atlanta isn't predicted to re-sign anyone. I understand that Maddux is a risk because of his age, but don't you think they'll make a run at either Javy Lopez or Gary Sheffield? Are they looking to cut payroll THAT much???
