a lot of rumors.

well, no trades during the winter meetings for the brewers. it's amazing the number of rumors that float around, especially when your team is talent laden. now that andruw jones signed with the dodgers, the brewers could send ben sheets out there (they inquired about him) and get a package of young players in return (some outfield help in matt kemp and/or andre ethier, maybe andy laroche or my personal favortie...chad billingsly). sheets only plays 2/3 of the season (if that) anyway, so it's not that big of a deal to trade him in his final year. i'd even throw in billy hall for the right package, and i really like him.

i guess that is why i'm no gm.

well, relative to my presentations, my fate is sealed. could i have done more? always. but i'm pretty confident in what i've put together. i've practiced to a very willing audience (when he wasn't licking his butt or trying to eat lint off of the stairs) in oliver. i'm going to read over my paper 1 final time and then turn it in. as of tomorrow night, i will be on winter break.

happy thursday.
