I like Kelly and Rizzo a lot. I think down the line, it could be a good deal for the Fathers, but not right now.
So Boston, wanna send Britton, Doubront, or Pimentel our way for Meek/Hanrahan?

Pirates after Jack Cust and Matt Diaz. I like Diaz because he mashes lefties and that's what we need, but Cust's power would be sexy in our lineup as well.

Cust had power in '07 and '08, but it's dropped off since. Still a great OBP guy, but I wouldn't want him on a NL team because he's an abysmal defender.

Pirates have a **** defense anyways, so it wouldn't matter too much.

The strategy is all good, it's just very different. I need my offseason rumor fix.

Yeah I know I was being a little sarcastic. I don't think it's going to get any bigger than that though for us this offseason. Have to purge a lot of bad contracts off the team first as you know.

damn it no, Jeff Francis should come to Toronto! Romero, Marcum, Cecil, Morrow, and Francis as the rotation.

The Blue Jays have better options in house than Francis.

I don't think you realize how bad Francis is at this point.

Because that's what the Bucs need, another borderline 5th starter.

Better than Charlie Morton. Besides, Francis could be a nice bounce back canadate.

Some Toronto writers think the Jays may make a push for Greinke. Would probably take Drabek and Snider. I'd be pretty happy if it happened.
Greinke-Marcum-Romero-Morrow-Cecil is a pretty nasty starting rotation

Rumors that the Pirates could have Scott Olsen by the Winter Meetings. Gross. I would rather have kept Duke.

Okay, I guess they can go after guys worse than present day Jeff Francis.

I don't really get why we signed Berkman. I guess its good to get another bat. Granted, what seems to be an aging bat.

I'd get it if there was a hole at first, but he's going to ******* suck in right.

I've hear Drabek OR Snyder + 2 of the following Arrencibia, Cecil or Gose
