By Chuck Finder | 5:05 p.m. Friday Facing a midnight deadline tonight to set their 40-man roster, the Pirates late this afternoon announced that they cut loose starter-reliever Jeff Karstens and officially added hard-throwing reliever Ramon Aguero, outfielder Gorkys Hernandez plus starters Brad Lincoln and Bryan Morris to that roster, thus protecting those minor leaguers from being exposed for other...

So, yeah, that new format didn't work out so well. I was hoping it would be easier for me to put together, but would be much more work to get it to work properly. Oh well, you're stuck with the old-fashioned way.

Cardinals GM John Mozeliak expressed interest in Xavier Nady and other Scott Boras clients, according to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Presumably Nady would be a low-rent option for left field. Of course, that's not the lead of Strauss' article - the focus is Matt Holliday and the Cards' attempt to sign him.

I must admit, I do the occasional bet. With my friends I will occasionally do small-wager pro football betting . I am pretty awful at it, but I still do it. I usually only do sports betting on topics that I understand such as football and baseball however.

You want to know how long the baseball season is? There are less than 100 days from the end of the regular season to the start of Spring Training. That's not a lot of time to cram in rest, relaxation and wheeling and dealing on the Hot Stove. With the GM meetings in Chicago this week leading up to the Baseball Winter Meetings in the tropical island location of Indianapolis (I believe it's off the...
