MLBTR: Ted Lilly will be a Type A Free Agent
Well, there you have it. We'll see if their reverse-engineering of the Elias Rankings holds up, but they have Lilly in the Type A group, by a pretty large margin. This is exactly why I was so upset with Hendry for the Lilly trade - 2011 is going to be an absolutely stacked draft, and if we'd kept Lilly and offered arb, we would have had either an extra first rounder, or Lilly on a 1-year deal for 2011. Instead, we have Blake DeWitt and Kyle Smit. Would you trade both of those guys for a 2011 first rounder? Yes, yes you would.
