Jason Bay wants to test free agency and
the Red Sox would be better served to make
a quick strike move on Matt Holliday rather than wait for Bay. Also, the Marlins will clean house and have a customary lull in on-field success. The Yankees chasing free agent pitchers is a reversion to the past.

The Twins need a 2nd baseman; a 3rd
baseman; a veteran starting pitcher; and some bullpen help.
Might they non-tender Francisco Liriano? Trade him? And what of Joe Nathan? There are many alternative closers available and it might be time to move on.

The Baltimore Orioles are not in as bad
a shape as they've been in forever. They've got
a lot of young pitching on the way and things could be far, far worse with their lineup, now infused with spry bats Matt Wieters, Nick Markakis and Adam Jones. They're not a wasteland for players to get paid now.

The Blue Jays should get the Roy Halladay
mess cleaned up before the time bomb explodes. The
lesson learned by the plight of the Twins with Johan Santana should provide enough reason as to the danger of waiting. All things being equal, the Blue Jays aren't that bad.

The Rays are slightly in flux. They may
have no choice (and would probably be smart) to
trade Carl Crawford now. They have no chance of keeping him as a free agent after 2010. Jason Bartlett and B.J. Upton could also be available. They need a closer, an outfield bat and a backup/part-time catcher.

The Red Sox have some problems. They need
pitching; they need to get younger; they've got some
contracts that can only be describes as albatrosses; and they need a power bat. Included in this posting are names to pursue; names that the Red Sox might be willing to trade; and potential blockbusters.

The Yankees have to decide between Johnny Damon
or Hideki Matsui or other options. Included are players
to possibly pursue via trade and free agency and which players could be dealt to fill holes. They need a durable starting pitcher, a utility INF/OF (Mark DeRosa) and a younger/better CF/LF.

The John Wetteland story should only be a
shock to those who are unaware of Wetteland's life
history. The quote of Wetteland being the first player that Tommy Lasorda actually thought was insane" should open the door of understanding to Wetteland's lifelong issues with various enthusiasms.

My predictions--accurate and not in retrospect----for the NL
West. I nailed the Giants, was off about the
Dodgers and the Diamondbacks. Also, Wally Backman will manage the Mets single A team in Brooklyn. That's a great move for the Mets to link to the glory days with good, aggressive manager.

A recap of my picks before the season
and what actually happened. I've learned my lesson: don't
pick the Chicago Cubs to go to the World Series. Bad decisions + being bitten by a snake = the Cubs of Chicago. The one move that gets the most press was Milton Bradley, but Kevin Gregg was just as bad.

I came thisclose to nailing the Marlins right
on the bulls eye. No one----NO ONE----had the Marlins
as good as they were. Except me. The NL East predictions and reality are recapped. Also notes about Chone Figgins; Mark McGwire; and new Nats full-time manager Jim Riggleman.

Technically, I got the Angels right; the A's
and Mariners wrong and the Rangers sorta right. Also,
the stat zombies have dragged me into one of their skirmishes. I don't mind; any promotion is good promotion.

Examining pre-season predictions with reality for the American
League Central. Suffice it to say, I picked the
Indians to win the division. Suffice it to say I was wrong. Also how did Dan O'Dowd win GM of the year? And the rumored three-way trade involving Milton Bradley.

Time for mea culpas or injuring my shoulder
patting myself on the back for my pre-season predictions.
I was pretty accurate about the AL East and nailed the fall of the Rays. Also the fallacy of Jimmy Rollins's inability to admit when his team was beaten by a better club.

What would you think if someone said that
Jason Marquis wanted to go play for the Red
Sox to be with Kevin Youkilis because they're both Jews? Tim McCarver did essentially the same thing by repeatedly suggesting that Hideki Matsui would want to play with Ichiro in Seattle. They don't get along, Tim.
