Ready, set, GO

Well, another baseball season is upon us. This off-season we saw some big moves in the Big Apple. The Yanks flexed their payroll muscle in signing starters C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett. The Mets also went out to improve their pitching, but for the bullpen. They had a struggling bullpen last year, but this year they add the best active closer out there, K-Rod Francisco Rodriguez. Now the Mets strong point is declared their bullpen, and now their starting rotation is said to be their weakest part. A major switch over. We also saw a desperate stab by the Chicago Cubs, signing Milton Bradley, a outfielder who last season came back and had a all-star season with the Rangers after having a history of arguing and throwing tantrums. Now the cubs try to fill the hole in center, or their trying to replace Fukudome, I can't tell, but we will soon find out. How about Pat Burrell, moving from the world champion Phillies to their World Series opponent the Tampa Bay Rays. As a Philadelphian, I know that people here are not happy with "Pat the Bat". Another big move that was early in the off-season was the trade of Matt Holliday from the Rockies to the A's. Not much improvement team wise for the big time LF, but a change of scenery for sure.
