The 2009 Elias Rankings have been released, and Ed Price of AOL FanHouse has a full list of the Type-A and B free agents.
Our 2010 MLB Free Agent list has been updated, and below is a summary of differences between the official rankings, and those projected by Eddie Bajek.
* Chone Figgins qualifies as a Type-A, not a Type-B as projected.
* Melvin Mora qualifies as a Type-A, not a Type-B as projected.
* Vladimir Guerrero qualifies as a Type-B, not a Type-A as projected.
* Gregg Zaun goes from no compensation to Type-B.
* Jerry Hairston Jr. goes from Type-B to no compensation.
* Hideki Matsui goes from Type-B to no compensation.
* Aubrey Huff goes from Type-B to no compensation.
I'm not Tony Reagins, but I'm pretty sure that means The Angels offer arbitration to Chone Figgins immediately and maybe not offering arbitration to Vladimir Guerrero. By offering arb. to Figgins, it will give the Angels some compensatory draft picks if Figgins is signed by another team. If The Angels offered Vlad arb., Vlad would probably accept it and we would be held to the arbitration hearings. If he doesn't accept arb., then the Angels would get compensatory drafts, but much lower picks. If the Halos do not offer arb., then the Angels would be free to re-negotiate a contract with Vlad.
