- Pruitt came down with a mild abdominal strain and then a quadriceps strain while running the bases, leaving him day-to-day with a likely minimal effect.

- EnochRoot's "wrist soreness" diagnosis has been extended to keep him day-to-day for an indefinite period of time. Dammit Enoch, quit beating off!
- Then again, playing through the injury, EnochRoot had maybe his best week of the year, going 14-for-31 with 2 HRs. So...keep beating off, I guess?

You kind of got ahead of me here (of course you did!), but during the last days of the season I started the contract negotiations with pending free agents. The whole "who do we re-sign?" thing last year was a sort of way of determining who'd go to another team, so to keep it simple this year I went ahead and just submitted offers to the pending FA's from their current teams. I gave everyone what I thought was a reasonable offer in relation to their demands. So far, a few have re-signed (like Sabo), while others haven't responded yet (like wlu_lax).

Oh, and look at what a smug bastard L-Jam was in response to my reasonable offer of $6M a year to be a setup man:
- wlu_lax (offered $210M, 7 years)
- BrontoBurglar (offered $80M, 7 years)
- Jerloma (offered $60M, 5 years)
- Avram (offered $1.5M, 1 year)
- L-Jam (wants $33M, 4 years)
Still thinking of how to handle this...
