Contract Crowdsourcing 2011-12: First Base and DH

We continue our contract crowdsourcing today with a pretty excellent first-base class. Matt Klaassen provided a summary this afternoon of the top-end first-base free agents available this offseason.

In response to some helpful comments, I’ve split the list of free agents up, so that it’s not necessary to vote for every one of them before submitting your form (although more responses will always be better).

Furthermore, I’ve added some alternate questions for a few of the players below — inviting speculation as to whether, for example, Albert Pujols will be a Cardinal in 2012 (and after), or whether Derrek Lee will be referred to over and again as a “veteran presence.”

Forms after the jump.

The Ortiz one was kinda hard for me because I think he gets considerably more per year if he stays in Boston, but I’m not so sure that he’ll stay it this point.

I think Ortiz would get a higher AAV and fewer years (2 instead of 3) from Boston, if they’re interested. Though I don’t think they’ll be serious suitors for a host of reasons (the clubhouse gossip/nonsense, youth, roster flexibility, Ryan Lavarnway, ‘selling high’ on him and collecting the draft picks).
