Ok, the Pete Rose interview is up. I'm not going to waste my time discussing it - it pretty much stands on its own and is available here.

GM Meetings will be a quiet affair and I don't think it will be as quiet this year at the Winter Meetings.

Lots of Alex Rodriguez rumors. None true, so far, but he's becoming Theo's 'white whale' much like Beane going after Durazo. Just remember it took Beane a couple years to make that work.

Berroa and Willis? Could be worse. Winning that award is nice, but it's no indication on which player will be the best in the future.

The book is coming along. I have this new strategy of writing for a full charge of battery. Each one runs about four hours and I take breaks for email. I'm going to try a couple other theories for enforcing my writing. I guess self-discipline would be nice, but that's not going to happen overnight, if at all. I'm also open to suggestion.
