Sneak Peek at June's New Market Values

[Colby]

We have a month for some of these values to change, but here is what we are looking at.  I'll start off with relievers, who are new to the market value scene.  I sense a lot of the 2010 contracts going to FA as many of these top guys aren't worth this much.

Some observations...  I guess some higher paid catchers became FA or was it that there was some averaging used at the top before?  Either way, the top five catchers have spread out:

CURRENT
C-1: $10m
C-2: $9m
C-3: $8.5m
C-4: $7m
C-5: $6.5m
NEW
C-1 $13m
C-2 $10m
C-3 $6.5m
C-4 $6m
C-5 $5.5m

Similar happenings with other positions... it all looks legit to me.
