So, first and foremost, I would like to thank everyone, whether you liked me or hated me, I liked you or hated you, on another fantastic season here at RCF. We had our ups and downs, fun times and bad times. But we made it. The season is over, and now we can focus on the business at hand.
1.) Who is our next manager? Sandy Alomar Jr.? Terry Francona? Some dark-horse candidate?
2.) What will we do with Travis Hafner? 1 more year on the cheap? Throw him out?
3.) There is also the question of Choo. Do we trade him in the offseason, before the trading deadline? Keep him in hopes he stays?
4.) All the other holes. 1st base. Pitching. Etc.
