Oh, this should be a good one. While there was relatively little activity at the winter meetings last year, this year should provide plenty of punch. First and foremost is the Alex Rodriguez-for-Manny Ramirez trade. I expect that it will happen. Ditto for Gary Sheffield becoming a Yankee. Other than that, your guess is as good as mine.

I'm headed down to New Orleans for the weekend with Jay Jaffe. I won't have the ability to post anything from the road, so there will not be a new post until Tuesday morning. Anyhow, I want you guys to feel free to continue the great conversations you've been having on the comments section below. It would be cool for me to track the progress of the meetings through what you've got to say.

I'm not sure what kind of experience we'll have down there, but I look forward to giving you my take when I return.
