The winter meetings have started. There are a few official meetings but many one on one meetings between teams and between teams and agents. There are few very good free agent hitters so will trades be a bigger part of the meetings than in the past?

Traditions are traditions, even silly ones.

Well, some players are signing but not many. Yamamoto is officially on the market now which should help push things a bit.

The season is over, the Rangers won it all - sigh. Now time for the Jays and all others to dream big about who will sign and who will be traded.

Of course it's Texas and Arizona. Isn't that what we all predicted back in the spring?

Once again a few Jays are up for the Gold Glove awards.... 5 players in total are among the top 3 at their position for defense (which shouldn't be a shocker this year).

And then there were four...

The games go on...

Given how much time in each thread is going to this one decision I figured I'd start an entry on it.

That was weird.

Norfolk 11 Buffalo 8

Buffalo 9 Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 1

New Hampshire 5 Somerset 1

Everett 10 Vancouver 0 (Northwest League final tied 1-1)

Special measures seem to be in order.
