A look back at the original reporting and analysis found on MLBTR this past week:
- Tim Dierkes wrote the new draft pick compensation system is superior, but a qualifying offer is a major drag on the leverage of good-but-not-great free agents.
- MLBTR was the first to report right-handed reliever Mike MacDougal will throw for interested teams in Tempe on Tuesday.
- Ben Nicholson-Smith examined the top ten free agent contracts for starting pitchers this offseason.
- Ben noted an increase in the number of contract extensions given this winter which did not extend the amount of team control over the player.
- Steve Adams asked MLBTR readers which was the best transaction by the A's this offseason. More than 41% of you believe GM Billy Beane's best move was acquiring Chris Young from the Diamondbacks.
- Daniel Seco asked MLBTR readers which team had the most disappointing offseason. There was a near even split between the Rangers (31%), Marlins (29%), and Yankees (25.5%).
- Ben listed the remaining arbitration cases.
- Zach Links revisted the notable transactions from February 2012.
- Ben hosted the weekly live chat.
- Zach gathered the best the baseball corner of the web had to offer in Baseball Blogs Weigh In.
