FOX Fantasy Baseball - Complete breakdown of major league baseball signings
Foxsports.com has a breakout of all the main free agents and news about them. I like ESPN's set up better as the freshest news is always at the top. On a side note. Foxsports.com wastes more bandwidth than anyone else I've ever seen. Take a look at the Career SB leaders for the Braves Franchise. Rank, name, years and bases are good, but look at how much unrelated material has to flow through your pipe in order to read a list of twenty names. The data itself takes about 3KB of bandwidth, but the entire page holds (with graphics) is 88KB. A 1:30 info to crap ratio is pretty poor.
