First of all, I have HUGE NEWS! Jim acquired Jeff Baker from the Rockies! I guess that's only huge if you assume the Aaron Miles era is over. I'm not completely convinced that it is. Anyhow, since most of you won't be working tomorrow (meaning we probably won't post tomorrow), you get your weekly Roundup a ... Read More
