What oh what to write about?...

This has been one hell of a boring offseason so far...for the White Sox at least.

I'm hoping this will be the quiet before the storm, but it's so hard to tell. If I had to bet, I think this will be a busy month. I don't know why, but I think Reinsdorf is going to pony up some cash this offseason. He's not a stupid man. He knows the Sox need to compete to draw, and he knows the Sox are going to need to spend to compete. He also knows they're no longer the only team in the division that can have a 9-figure payroll.

Some people are worried about the Tigers. Not me. Not yet anyways. Yes, they've spent a lot of money. But what do they have? They have the same mediocre left-side of their infield, an injury-prone setup man coming off a career year with a contract that could make Linebrink's look good, and a DH who lost a big chunk of his value when he stopped being a catcher. I mean...am I the only one that thinks that Victor Martinez contract was terrible? Adam LaRoche has a comparable career OPS and will be lucky to get 20 percent of the money Victor did. I'm by no means saying they're equals...but is Martinez really THAT much better? Is it worth THAT much more money that he can catch a couple times a week? The Tigers shed some shitty contracts and it's almost like they can't wait to replace those with new ones.

Anyways, I'm hoping KW & Co. are simply taking their time and avoiding rushing into anything stupid (see: Teahen, Mark). I wouldn't be surprised to see them make one big move (I'm hoping Dunn) and then waiting out the market for some bargains in the New Year.

Anyways, we'll have to wait and see. Longer, that is...
