		<description><![CDATA[With the free agent market officially open, everybody&#8217;s got rankings out:

Keith Law at ESPN;
Jeff Passan at Yahoo;
Jon Heyman at SI;
and AOL&#8217;s Fanhouse.

I&#8217;m also still partial to my rankings.

		<description><![CDATA[ESPN&#8217;s Jerry Crasnick: &#8220;When Arte Moreno says flat out &#8216;no&#8217; to Matt Holliday, you have to wonder: Is that Boras-related fallout from Teixeira leaving last winter?&#8221;
Without knowing any of the inner workings &#8212; you&#8217;d have to think Moreno, and any GM or owner, would be open to signing a Scott Boras client if it fills [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s a whole mess of stuff worth discussing in the LA Times&#8217; interview with Arte Moreno, but most relevant:
&#8220;&#8221;We&#8217;re at $101 million now. We were at $113 million last year. If you look at what (Lackey and Figgins are) asking, you can&#8217;t bring both of them back.&#8221;
So now we know: about $12 million, not quite the [...]]]></description>

&#8220;I have my doubts that any of their three big names in free agency &#8212; John Lackey, Chone Figgins and Vladimir Guerrero &#8212; will be back. &#8230;  don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[George King writes in the New York Post that one agent (not Lackey&#8217;s) thinks the Angels&#8217; ace could get a contract like Barry Zito&#8217;s seven-year, $126 million deal.
Also, the Nationals &#8212; last year&#8217;s longshot for Mark Teixeira &#8212; are reportedly interested in Lackey, in part because they see Lackey as a mentor to phenom Stephen Strasburg [...]]]></description>

Damon once told the New Yorker that reading his own Boras Binder &#8220;made me feel like Ty Cobb.&#8221; While Heyman&#8217;s tidbit is no &#8220;Oliver Perez=Sandy Koufax,&#8221; there&#8217;s a bit of space for mockery:
Boras also produced a Damon book with some surprising numbers, such as [...]]]></description>

These aren&#8217;t the same as prospect rankings, but they give us context: How good is a .557 slugging percentage in Salt Lake? How much value does Peter [...]]]></description>

Seriously, this rumor makes very little sense, we all know it, we hardly need to discuss it, but in short: The [...]]]></description>

So let&#8217;s revisit Fox Sports&#8217; account from yesterday:
