Pre-Spring Training 2009 begins today
Wednesday August 13th officially marked the end of the 2008 season for me. Watching Kenny Rodgers give up that grand slam, sitting through a rain delay, and then seeing the Tigers score only 3 runs in the 9th sealed the coffin for me. There are six weeks left in the season so let's start making some moves now that will make the actual spring training a little easier. We have so many questiosn marks pitching, pitching, and pitching. Will Bonderman, Willis, Rodgers be back? Is Robertson better suited for the bullpen as one sportscaster mentioned yesterday? What about Freddy Garcia? Have we seen the last of Todd Jones? Zumaya? Sheffield? Renteria? What is the future of our young stars -- Clete, Ryan, Brent , Matt, (LOL on a fiorst name basis already) and others not mentioned that often. I believe now is the time to start testing. What free agents will be available on the free agent market? Seems like only a few months ago we were supposed to be scoring 1,000 runs - oops. I can hear Ernie Harwell now recting his poem to start Spring Training.

Right you are, Chuck. It's officially over for this year's squad. Time to bid farewell to Sheffied, Renteria, Rogers and Jones. Maybe Polance and Guillen too. I'd say except for Cabrera (and perhaps Magglio) no one's untouchable. Or maybe we first terminate Leyland and pitching coach Chuck Hernandez? And call me an optimist, but I think Dontrelle will still pitch effectively
