This time of year is nothing short of brutal. Even MLB talk radio on XM isn't doing much for me right now - yesterday morning, the hosts talked about Plaxico Burress. I guess they're as starved for baseball news as I am.
The winter meetings are going on next week in Las Vegas, so maybe we'll get some news out of that - but probably nothing from my teams.
Here are a few choice nuggets of info:
- It looks like Dusty Baker is still trying to bring no-good/washed-up former Cubs players to Cincinnati. This time it's Kerry Wood. Absolutely brutal. Chris Sabo's Googles expresses my sentiments exactly.
- The Pirates and Neal Huntington (heretofore refered to as "Che" by Pirate Revolution) are, at least, making things interesting by signing some Indian (yes from India) "prospects." Dinesh Patel and Rinku Singh have only been exposed to the game of baseball for about 6 months and won some sort of million-dollar arm reality show in their home country. Sounds good to me... at least the Buccos are creatively looking for talent - I certainly can't say that about the Reds (see above).
- Muddy of the Toledo Mud Hens is going to be on hand at the Swamp Shop (at Fifth Third Field in Toledo, OH) this Saturday to sign autographs and pose for pictures. Sounds fun to me. I'm gonna go check it out.
