Bedard has agreed to terms with the M’s. This will ultimately be a good thing, I tell myself.

Also, Blue Jays sign Kevin Gregg. I also believe this to be a good thing. The guy simply cannot close ballgames.

On another note, I’m pumped for the snow. I guess it’s leftover from childhood, but seriously what does winter have to offer after the holidays if it’s not snowing? BRING IT.

Plus it’s a good excuse to be a PJ-clad LUMP this weekend.

1. PJs.
2. Hot chocolate.
3. Snuggles.
4. PS3.
5. Movies.
6. Booze.
7. Board games.
8. Reading.
9. Job-hunting. (we’ll see if I have time…)
10. Tea.
11. Snow Angels.
12. Repeat.

Feel free to add.

@dan the man – All I can say is that I’d much rather see the Yankees not get a guy who is still young, trending upwards, who can put up a wOBA in the high .360s. And you know, I feel like I’ve heard a lot of Oriole fans saying we don’t necessarily need power at first base because we have Matt Wieters who can be our power hitter. Well, New York certainly has enough power hitters that they can afford to have a strong defender in left who gets on base and steals a lot of bases.

Anyway, this is a dumb conversation. We’re talking about the Yankees here people! I thought we were going to go through the Orioles starters and talk about our team!

@Andrew - Pretty much what Dan said. It's not that I don't think Crawford's good, it's that it's all relative. Carl Crawford to the Pirates is a massive deal. Carl Crawford to the Yankees is just them signing a very good free agent.

Neal, I’m not really sure what you mean. And again I say, if we assume Brian Roberts and Carl Crawford give similar production, then why aren’t you scared of Crawford? Roberts has been the Orioles’ best player for several years now…I would like to think that if I were a Toronto fan, I’d be scared of Brian Roberts.
