Who will be the first of the BIG 4 to sign?

[imported_broadway]

Sabathia, Rodriguez, Teixeira or Ramirez?

Who do you think will be the first to sign?

My guess is Krod or Sabathia. The first big offer to K-rod might do it and he is my pick. There seem to be less team options for him.

I have a feeling Manny and Tex will be drawn out for awhile. thanx Scott.

I\'m guessing CC. I wonder if K-Rod will be a long wait because he deserves so much more than what the market able to offer him. Plus, there is a little bit of injury concern. Unfortunate for a guy that set a pretty impressive record. Regardless of how much the team had to do with it, he is still one of the best since his career begain.

I think C.C. will be first to sign..and he\'ll sign with Yankees or Angels...

Another question, what big trade OR unforseen trade that might happen at the winter meetings??

looks like K-Rod won this race...
i think CC may sign next.. San Fran is repotedly ready to offer CC a huge contract (see: Barry Zito) and the management team there seem confident that he will sign there.. however, once Brian Cashman heard this news, he got on a plane and flew to San Fran to meet with CC and his people (3rd meeting in 3 days)... so this goes to show how badly the yankees want this guy...

San Fran has also gotten out of the Tex race.
