I notice a ton of you pouring in from the A's site on scout.com, and I'm glad to have you. Things are a little dead around here, for a couple of reasons: one, it's the offseason, and the A's appear about ready to head to spring training with the roster they have (though you know I'll have something to say about Eric Byrnes getting a couple million bucks in just a bit); and two, because my internet access at my apartment has been out since last Friday. I'm doing this from school, to say I'm still alive and I encourage a lot of you to come back regularly. In fact, subscribe if you have an RSS reader (see the sidebar for subscription links) and leave plenty of comments!
