Kicking off the winter meetings

To kick off the winter meetings, first I've got a new Pirate site for you. Cory from ANPG has worked hard to bring together a bunch of Pirate writers from across the internet for the Pittsburgh Pirates Roundtable and today the project sees the light of day. Anyways, the first post is up and it's massive, so you may want to bookmark the page and slowly work through it until next Monday, when the next post will be up.

Meanwhile Dejan outlines the latest list of potential lefty bats. Currently out: Dunn, Hawpe, Jacobs. Currently in: James Loney (this would be shocking, he's rumored to be part of the "Manny to LA trade" so I can't imagine what we could offer to get him), Ryan Church, Casey Kochtman (who I doubt we have enough to pry from the Angels), and Geoff Jenkins. Geoff Jenkins? Be still, my beating heart. Dejan will be chatting from the winter meetings today at 2, but you can log on early and submit questions before then.

Rotoworld's Aaron Gleeman is blogging live from Orlando, so keep an eye on his that for fast breaking, umm, rumors.
