Wow…it’s basically a month since I posted on the site. I’m really sorry about that guys and girls. I’ll try my best to be here till the playoffs are over…and then it’ll be on to my favourite time of the year: winter meetings et al.

I love the winter meeting period and the general offseason in baseball going through the end of the year. During that time there are more rumors than at the trading deadline IMHO. It’s great stuff…and don’t you just love it when some of the rumors turn out to be true? Examples from the last few years: the Tim Hudson trade, the Mark Mulder trade, the LaRoche/Romak for Gonzalez/Lillibridge deal and the Jennings/Asencio for Taveras/Buchholz/Hirsh- lots of trades to tickle our fancy over the past offseasons.

I hope that this offseason is no different. Obviously the talk of the town will be A-Rod, but that’s not going to be a trade. I highly doubt that it turns out to be a trade.
