Qualifying Offers: The Acception Proves The Rule

Apparently my New Year's resolution should be to think before I speak. As I was strolling down the street in my neighborhood, one of my neighbors was hammering one of those neighborhood signs into the ground, the ones which read "Drive Like Your Kids Live Here". As I approached the sign I simply asked my neighbor, "What if I don't like my kids?" Now that I reflect on it perhaps it wasn't the most neighborly thing to say, but it's a fair question.

So not one, not two, but three potential free agents have accepted their qualifying offers, which is three more than ever accepted prior to this off-season.
