Free agency rumors....

Carlos Beltran is adamant about getting every penny that the free agent market will bear.
Albert Pujols will get every dollar that he can get from a team.
It you don't meet Hank's demands, it's unlikely you'll sign him.
Bradley would probably settle into Free Agent very well. (Sure that'll be fixed for release. Reported it to Clay.)
Carlos is looking for a more ambitious organization that the Braves.
Troy Glaus cares about more than money.
Infante is trying to work out a deal with the Marlins.
Money isn't Rob's number one priority.
Martinez would like to sign with a team that is more focussed on winning that {sic} the Braves. (also reported)
Hernandez would be more inclined to sign with the Braves is Tagg Bozied were on the team. (Bozied is listed as one of Hernandez's friends, and both of their personality types are "charismatic.")
Corey Patterson has very little wiggle room in his asking price.
Aubrey would be most comfortable with the Twins. (One of his friends is with the Twins.)
Gabe would be most comfortable with the Diamondbacks. (Again, a friend is in Arizona.)
Jeff wouldn't like Atlanta. He'd rather live somewhere warmer. (What is this guy, a freakin' jungle-dweller? OK, the game gets the benefit of the doubt on this one. The only FA contract he signed before was a four-year extension with the Marlins. I'll be curious to track where Jeff Duncan signs this year.)
Zeringue doesn't think the Braves are committed to fielding a competitive team.
Gerald Laird is willing to give a little in negotiations to be with the right team.
Rajai would like to sign with the Cardinals so he can be with Brent Clevlen.

I'll stop there. 16 different messages, at least, even though some seem to be saying similar things. Next, on to player personalties...
