For the record the Athletic's grades are pretty well in line with Barnwell. I'm in agreement with most of these low grades as free agency is generally a terrible way to build a team but GM's and coaches with jobs on the line are so desperate that it only takes a few teams to drive up the price for what's in a lot of cases pretty average players. I can't think of many contracts handed out this week that were really good contracts for the team. The good deals usually come the following week when teams get decent Tier 2 UFA's on more reasonable deals. The players are the only winners this time of year for the most part.
