Bail Advice

If you are preparing to bail on the 2006 season, examine the rosters in your league for those players whose contracts expire at the end of this season.

This will give you a heads-up as to what will be in next year's draft. The easiest example would be closers.

If there are a few whose contracts expire on October 2nd, then you do not need to focus on grabbing one in a bail trade. There will be at least those few in the draft.

If there are none, then you should focus on getting a cheap one in a bail trade.

If you see no big name starting pitchers with expiring contracts, then target one whose contract runs through the end of 2007.

If there are several whose contracts are expiring, then focus elsewhere.

And so on.
