Interesting. This was the article I saw on Holmberg originally and figured by the first paragraph that he was a legal add:

The rules don't deal with this, but it seems to me that since he signed an amateur tryout offer that he would be considered property of the organization for the purposes of the draft.
IMO, based on ease of use and feature set on Windows:
Best (free) for simple things: Paint.net
Best (free) for resizing images (tons of options and bulk capability) and some modifications: Irfanview
Best (paid) for everything: Photoshop, but costs $10 / month.
It doesn't matter what the rest of the world sees him as. Seattle has been pretty clear about seeing him as one of the game's top prospects. This is why I think they won't trade him unless it's a main piece of a blockbuster (unlikely), and rather they'll keep jerking him around as he continues to lose value (likely).
I believe earlier in the year he was being mentioned as a key part in a possible deal for Price. They aren't trading him for a reliever. Instead they'll either put him in a blockbuster or they'll keep jerking him around until his value disappears (probably the latter).
As long as it doesn't involve trading guys like Hutch, Sanchez, or Stroman. Attracting any kind of FA pitcher to Toronto is nearly impossible unless we overpay like crazy, so we had better develop them ourselves.
Rather amusing article about Prince Fielder (aside from the pictures): http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/page/bodyfielderqa/texas-rangers-prince-fielder-takes-all-espn-magazine-body-issue
One quote in particular:
A-Rod, Upton, and Howard probably for me. For shorter term ones, definitely Wells too. At least *most* of the other guys on the list are performing reasonably, just not at the expected level.
