Offseason

Although the thought of having the whole offseason batting 1.000 on predictions is right up my alley, it's too tempting to not try again. Here I'll give some random offseason predictions.

-C.C. Sabathia signs with the Yankees. Pretty easy pick shouldn't be much arguing here. Yanks need pitching, and there is some truth to the rumblings that the player's union makes players sign for the most money.

-Ben Sheets signs with the Astros. Oswalt/Sheets combo could be enticing and I don't know, I get the feeling Astros don't always know what they're doing (Michael Bourn?)

-Jake Peavy gets traded to the Braves. The Braves haven't gone into full rebuilding mode yet, so why would they now? Their dynasty was built on pitching, Peavy should help them get back to the playoffs, or at least make them think he will.

-Rafael Furcal gets signed by the Yankees and Derek Jeter finally starts his utility role playing a little bit of Left, Center, and First before picking one to stick with until he gets 4000 hits. Wishful thinking? Just a little.

-Erik Bedard gets traded to the Dodgers who lose Derek Lowe to the Yankees.

-Bobby Abreu gets offered arbitration from the Yankees. Luckily the Cubs sign him thinking he is still a walk machine they need.

-Blue Jays and A's fight over Giambi, I don't really care who gets him.

-Mark Teixeira signs with the Red Sox. They have a ton of money coming off the books, and with Ortiz's obvious decline that the Sox clearly notice, Teixeira makes a lot of sense. Sticking it to the Yanks while also being a good move for you team always makes sense.

-Manny Ramirez. I'll say he signs with the Dodgers. I still have some feeling the Orioles will do something, and after losing to hometown hero Teixeira, maybe they overpay for Manny?

That's all for now. With it being the offseason and all, you could probably expect some more in the future as I search for topics.
