Chad Tracy's Blood is Thinner
Tracy had surgery to repair a fracture and was expected to probably be ready for spring training, but as the magazine was going to be it was revealed that he'd developed a blood clot and was on blood thinners. He can't play until the clot issue is resolved and it isn't yet, so there is some good chance that he won't be ready come opening day. That makes his $17 bid price way high at this point. When we know when he's going to start to play, prorate it.

Today's correx
I'm working on updated projections and there are plenty of little tweaks and changes because of various signings and releases. I should probably do a better job of documenting what all those changes are, but I don't. I did notice while going through the projections that I put a bid price on Alex Escobar of $8, who is currently a free agent. That was wack.
Not that he couldn't earn that if he stayed healthy, but he's never stayed healthy. If he looks like he has a shot at playing time on draft day he's worth a few bucks. Even if he's sort of buried but kind of healthy he's worth a buck. But these are end game plays when everyone good is gone. $8? What was I thinking?
