Cheer up BrokenGlass the Pirates just traded for Benito Santiago!.

I'd have rather they pulled Manny Sanguillen out of his booth in the centerfield mezzanine.

As a Twins fan we got 2 players I've never heard of an resigned Radke and let Koskie go. Just once I would like to see us actually sign somebody I have heard of.

As a diehard Brewer fan, I know how a lot of you small market fans feel. This is the first year that I can remember where the Brewers are actually spending money and making moves. I'm still giddy over Carlos Lee.

I see all this excitement for these teams

But when your a pirate fan, the offseason we got matt lawton woohoo

Welcome to baseball. Teams with the money can spend, spend, spend while the Pirates get to pick leftovers off the scrap heap.

You're right. It must really suck. But hey, I'm a Cub fan. At least you've won a world series in the last 30 years.

The Cubs don't do a whole lot of off season huge player name deals either. Of course I hope that changes this year with them moving Sosa.

It's all part of the messed up financial landscape of baseball. But somehow the Twins manage to get by.

I can't tell you exactly what its like, I'm still getting used to it. I'm in shock that the Cubs have had 2 consecutive winning seasons and are in the free agent market for the second year in a row...LOL.

My ideal situation is to get rid of Slammin "Strikeout" Sosa and sign Beltran but that just may be wishful thinking.
