Was waiting till the new year rolled around to get the discussion for this upcoming season that's about to roll around. Last year was quite the fantastic season as a baseball fan even if the White Sox completely under-performed.
My comments on the White Sox:
We all knew that "56" was going to be gone this year, even if they made a deep playoff run last year. No way they were going to give him a lengthy contract, and I'm kinda glad that they didn't tie up all that money. Buehrle should dominate in the national league.
Losing Quentin kind of stung a bit, although I feel like De Aza or Viciedo will be absolutely awesome as starters, we just need Rios to not suck.
I was pretty sad about losing Santos though, I thought he did an excellent job last year.
Lastly, Dunn needs to not blow this year. WTF!!!
Around the league:
Pujols, wow! Way too many years for an old man. Following Fielder should prove to be interesting. Selig is looking to fuck even more things up in the league, I hate the idea of the extra wild card teams, this isn't the damn NBA.
Although I still predict him trying to edge out the DH in the NL, since he did take it out of the All-Star game. I think that might be a precursor of things to come. I did just read that he plans on moving the All-Star game to a Wednesday as well, so that pitchers throwing on Sunday could still play.
