December 8th has been a date a lot of us baseball fans have looked forward to since the conclusion of, not only the baseball season, but the recently concluded GM Meetings a few weeks ago.

As the meetings get underway in Las Vegas, it means the beginning of very long days and nights of GM’s around baseball.  It means baseball fans sitting on the edge of their seats as trades are made and free agents are signed, those same fans clicking ‘refresh’ on their computers every five minutes, on every baseball website they can find, to see if there is any breaking news on their team. 

With the start of the Winter Meetings, it also means a list of concerns each team has to address.  Who needs pitching?  What positions do they need to fill?  Do they have the money to sign a big free-agent or do they need to think spreading the money out and signing several players?  Can they re-sign any of their own free-agents?

These and many more questions may be answered this week in Las Vegas, so put those fingers to your keyboard, type in your favorite baseball rumor site or any of your favorite baseball sites and hang on tight, this might be a fun week.
