This is a repost and update:

	A simple contest (no prizes this time): 

Who will be the first player taken in the expansion draft?

Making this prediction will require a guess about two components. 
1. Which players will be left unprotected by existing teams?
2. Of those, who will be chosen?

E-mail your entries to me, and I'll tabulate them. The winner is the
person whose candidate goes highest in the expansion draft. In case of
a tie, the contestants must arm-wrestle Roger Maynard.

   	By the way, ...  Jim Leyritz thinks that he [Leyritz] will be #1.
   	I think that constitutes Jim's entry. I don't think he should
	be eligible for any prize, though.
From: jpalmer@uwovax.uwo.ca (Doc Palmer)
	Tim Wallach [I note that he has accepted financial compensation in
        exchange for being left unprotected despite being a 10/5 player]
From: <sullis@rpi.edu> (Sean Sullivan)
	My prediction:  Hensley Meulens
From: Kurt "Some Guy" Bose <kbos@carina.unm.edu>

From: zuhars@eecs.ucdavis.edu (Gary Death To Live Arms Huckabay)
	Well, I'm a firm believer in Braves stupidity...
	Pencil me in for Keith Mitchell.  But, in all honesty, I'd *LOVE* to
	arm-wrestle Roger Maynard.
	However, the idea of shaving Lundy's back has some appeal, too.
From: MCMASTER@stortek.com (Jim McMaster)
	Deion Sanders.
From: someone whose address I accidentally deleted 8-(
	Please, God, let it be David West!
