winter meetings are almost here

I love hot stove season. The Cardinals don't have much in the way of bargaining chips (either payroll or prospects) so I don't expect them to be major players. But the tone I pick up from the new GM is that they are planning on competing next season - so some moves will be made. They have also expressed a willingness to part with some of their big league talent so I wouldn't be surprised if they had a small trick or two up their sleeves. Here is a site I visit about ten times a day.
