Yeah, he was another one, in addition to Bonds/Clemens, that I saw sign.

Also, Frank Thomas retired during the year and immediately made the HoF - which reminds me that I'd really like to see the game follow the 5 year eligibility rule. Seems ridiculous that the guy gets put in the day after he retires (or suffers a CEI). At the very least, wait until the off-season!
