There's lots of speculation on what free agents will go where and for how much. Here's your chance to put what you think in writing so you can say 'I told you so'.

You'll predict each of the following:

* Team player signs with
* Number of years of contract (team and mutual options don't count)
* Average annual salary (guaranteed portion only)


Points will be assigned as follows:

* Correctly predict new team - 3 points
* Correctly predict same team - 1 point
* Correctly predict number of years of contract - 1 point
* Correctly predict average annual salary (within 10% of actual) - 2 points

Tiebreaker:

Here are the 25 players to predict:

A.J. Burnett
B.J. Ryan
Bengie Molina
Billy Wagner
Braden Looper
Brian Giles
Dmitri Young
Eddie Guardado
Erubiel Durazo
Frank Thomas
Hideki Matsui
Jarrod Washburn
Jeff Weaver
Johnny Damon
Kevin Millwood
Kyle Farnsworth
Matt LeCroy
Matt Morris
Mike Piazza
Nomar Garciaparra
Paul Byrd
Paul Konerko
Rafael Furcal
Todd Jones
Tom Gordon

To make your prediciton copy and paste the names and then enter your guess (separated by commas).

A guess should look like this:

Player, team name (not the city), # years, annual salary (rounded to hundred thousand). For example, the first player on the list:

A.J. Burnett, Angels, 3, 8.5

So the above prediction would be A.J. Burnett signing with the LA Angels of Anaheim for 3 years and $25.5 million.

Following this format is greatly appreciated. Entries need to be posted by 11:59 pm on Nov 6th.
