Winter Meetings

So I know I havn't posted in a while, but oh well, life got in the way you know.

Going on right now is the winter meetings in baseball, where in dark smoke filled rooms, GM's wheel and deal for trades and free agents. So far lets look at some of the teams that need work and what they've done.

New York Yankees: In need of an ace pitcher to reestablish their rotation, so far they've signed C.C. Sabathia to a 161 million dollar deal and further pursuing another $80 million on A.J. Burnett. Reports also say that they may be trading Mmelky Cabrera for Mike Cameron of the Brewers. I think the Stienbrenner brothers are just a little pissed about missing the playoff's last year.

New York Mets: Have traded for Putz and have signed Frankie Rodriguez, effectivly anchoring the eighth and ninth innings, in which they had tons of trouble the last two years. Further reports have stated that the Mets may be pursuing Derek Lowe or Street as well to fill out the rotation.

Dodgers: willing to wait out Manny Ramerize

Braves: pursuing A.J. Burnett as well, though they need more help than just a solid pitcher.

More to come later, those are just the big stories for now, more later.

Before I sign off, I just want to give a big shout out to my favorite pitcher of all time, Greg Maddux. 355 wins. Thats all I have to say, and hope he enjoys retirment as much as I enjoyed watching him, thank you fore everything Mr. Maddux, the game will miss you sorly.
