File this under "things I should know", what is the status of John Fina? Under contract??

No, he's still an unrestricted FA. They'll probably sign him again after the first game (along with Rob Fredrickson).
Why is that by the way??? Why do they have to wait until after the first game to sign the veteran minimum-wage guys?? Is it cap speculation? Something to do with roster spots? What?

If they got Fina AND ROB I would be impressed.... Not so much with Fina, although I like him, but I think ROB is still a descent player...

Correct.
A veteran that is on the opening day roster gets his entire years salary no matter what happens. If the vet gets injured, he gets placed on IR. If they cut him, they still have to pay his year's salary.
