Trade Deadline Contest (Prize for the winner: DVD)

[Fishercat]

OK, simple contest. You have to predict whether the following players will

A) Leave
and
B) Where they will leave to

If you correctly predict a player leaving or not, you will get 3 points. Also, you will get a bonus of 1-5 points (1 if the player has few options, 3 for the normal pick to a few teams, 5 for a wide open one) if the player leaves for the team you predicted (if you said yes).

For instance, suppose I said (a week ago)
Jay Payton (BOS - Bonus: 2 points)
He was traded to Oakland
If you said
Jay Payton would not be traded - 0 points
Jay Payton would be traded to Colorado - 3 points (correct on leaving)
Jay Payton would be traded to Oakland (5 points (correct on leaving and team).

Predict the following 15 players. You have up to July 24 to make your predictions, and if a trade is REPORTED for the player before you make your picks, the likely result is a replacement player, although I may consider it as punishment for not getting your picks in early

Format: Player (Team - Bonus for correct team)
AL East:
Danys Baez (TB - 3 points)
Kevin Millar (BOS - 1 point)

AL Central:
Mike Sweeney (KC - 3 points)
Jose Contreras (CWS - 5 points)

AL West:
Eddie Guarado (SEA - 3 points)
Randy Winn (SEA - 3 points)
Alfonso Soriano (TEX - 1 point)

NL East:
A.J. Burnett (FLA - 3 points) (Note: Many rumors floating, I WILL replace him if he is traded before our deadline. If you get his trade right, then your points will count but you won't get a prediction on the replacement. Same value)
Billy Wagner (PHI - 3 points)
Johnny Estrada (ATL - 5 points)

NL Central
Joe Randa (CIN - 1 point)
Austin Kearns (CIN - 3 points)
Matt Lawton (PIT - 3 points)

NL West:
Jason Schmidt (SFG - 5 points)
Brian Fuentes (COL - 3 points)

There's 15 players, go for it, deadline's on July 24th at the end of the night (11:59 PM).

Tiebreak Question #1: Name me a player who will be traded who isn't on this list.
Tiebreak Question #2: How many teams will make a "deadline deal" (July 31)
Tiebreak Question #3: Give me the number of HRs + HR Allowed of all the players on traded (Major League Level only).

Almost forgot to mention: Redsrbetter, who held the ASG Contest which Generalissimo won IIRC, has offered to make this a DVD contest, much like the last contest. Game on!

(Note: I'm going off his offer in another forum, if he doesn't want to put up another DVD, tell me and I'll take that down. If he wants to, it's a baseball DVD of your choice. Make sure it's not something that will break the forum guys. )
