OFF-SEASON 2002
---
We don't have major free agents who'll be coming up this year and so, this off-season's priority for me is again focused on improving the team starting with a veteran arm in the rotation who is maybe battle tested and who has some juice left.
I'll make some deals to trim some of the fat as always. But don't expect us to do anything really bold.
That said, the free agent crop this year is looking pretty bright and so, it'll be interesting to see how guys come out of that and where the numbers fall.
ARBITRATION NUMBERS

Quote:
Felix Murillo got $1.05 million
Luis Manuel Morales got $1.49 million
Mino Nishikawa got $2.0 million
Dan Warren got $3.5 million, but is expected to sign a long-term deal at some point in the next few weeks, given his heroics in the World Series and the feeling among upper management (e.g. not me) that he's a guy they want here for a long time.
Jacob Snow got $3.7 million.

I have a funny feeling that ownership is going to get cheap. It worries me immensely, but it's just a feeling I have. I'll let you know when I have a clearer idea of what's going to happen.
