The baseball winter meetings are clearly in the rearview mirror, but the offseason discussion never ends. We're still waiting to find out final destinations for first baseman Prince Fielder (I think he ends up with the Chicago Cubs), shortstop Jimmy Rollins (Philadelphia Phillies or dark horse Detroit Tigers?) and Japanese import Yu Darvish (Toronto Blue Jays seem awfully interested), among others. By the way, pitchers and catchers report in roughly eight weeks!
Anyway, since you can find the lowdown on the big signings and trades so far covered by my able colleague Tristan H. Cockcroft (check the ESPN fantasy baseball page), here are some alphabetical thoughts -- some unconventional -- on this offseason so far.
For Eric's thoughts on the offseason so far from A to Z, you must be an ESPN Insider!
