To make your prediciton copy and paste the names and then enter your guess (separated by commas).
A guess should look like this:
Player, team name (not the city), # years, annual salary (rounded to hundred thousand). For example, the first player on the list:
A.J. Burnett, Angels, 3, 8.5
So the above prediction would be A.J. Burnett signing with the LA Angels of Anaheim for 3 years and $25.5 million.
