8. Who will win the weird Tampa Bay-Oakland bidding war? Both teams are going for a slugger, both teams are in discussions with Giambi and Abreu and others, and both have a decent-sized, short-term contract to offer. But strangely, either team probably wouldn't be upset if the other team were to strike first, because that might naturally undercut the bargaining position (and the asking prices) of the remaining free agents. As I wrote Sunday, the guess here is that Giambi will wind up with Oakland, and the Rays will wind up with Pat Burrell.
