Can someone with actual knowledge give me a timeline? I'm starting to freak my geek a little bit here!




I'm new to the ups, downs, and swirly whirly rumors of the baseball offseason. I got into the difficult, deep, and beautiful game of baseball over the last decade. Drawn to the Yankee history and seemingly mystical power of the pinstripes, I have taken the Yankees as my adopted team. As a Bengal and West Virginia University fan, I get immense pleasure from the Yankee's aggressive attitude towards making their team better every year. Each offseason I await the inevitable signing that brings an explosion of excitement for spring.

However, this offseason seems a little more excruciating than those in the past. I know it's not until shortly after the winter meetings that signings are made, right? I know that the Yankees and Cashman will never resign to not spend for a championship in order to wisely dispense only a portion of the New York fortune, right? Man, for some reason this offseason seems shrouded in uncertain anxiety.

Will we go for Robertson AND Miller??? Is there a REAL chance at getting Scherzer or Lester??? BOTH??? Will we make a play for Markakis? Will we push around the rest of the MLB to resign Headley by using that Yankee financial might? Is there a trade in the next few weeks that will bring in a SS??? Or will we limp into the season with A-Rod, Tex, and Beltran headlining our lineup?

Please.....someone help my put the next several weeks in perspective!!!!!
