Late Innings

I’m sitting here… kinda drunk. Winter meetings are around the corner, and I’m excited. I really expect that Jake Peavy will be traded within the weeks, and I really think that Baltimore will be involved, and I really think that they’ll give up Garrett Olsen.

Any ways I’m obviously drunk now, and am clearly excited about this week. Will Baltimore trade Ramon Hernandez to the Reds as part of a salary dump? Will Andy MacPhail move Brian Roberts for a good set of prospects? Will the team make a move for Mark Teixeira?

That’s what I’d like to see happen this week. I want to see Felix Pie being part of the 40 man roster. I want to see some salary dumped, and some prospects brought in (Hernandez and his 15 HR from last year don’t necessarily count as a salary dump.) And I’m curious to see what happens during next weeks’ Rule V draft… yes, that will be the biggest drinking night of the year for me. That and a good shortstop with an OPS over .575… yeah that would be hot.
