I haven't downloaded the file yet. Just wanted to say that I'm going to try to be on my best behavior today.

Raulo Gutierrez is back for his third go-around in Maine. He'll earn $18M this year and another $18M next year if he starts 28+ games. I'm excited to have him back.

Our projected rotation now looks like:

Migdonio Manhos
Raulo Gutierrez
Alejandro Ramirez
Dusty Paulsen
Tom Hau

... with Nelson Reyes moving to the bullpen in the Ken Bayer role.

IF Tony Cardenas rejoins Pawtucket. Scout say his eye has improved. We were scary thing with infielders and got away with it, but don't want that risk again. Will about 250-300 at bats throughout the infield.

Offseason complete. We might even be under budget for once.

We added a top pitcher and an utility infielder that might be able to start for some teams.

Unless crazy injuries occur, should be formidable. Still think Pitt's kids come of age at somept.

We landed MR Don Bolton. I think he's going to be a great addition to the BP.
