We have 90 days until Opening Day and the Matt Holliday situation is still unsettled.

St. Louis is a logical fit for him, but we are in 2010 and the deal still isn’t done.  The Cardinals need to find somebody to protect Pujols and Matt Holliday is that guy.  He can completely change the complexion for the Cardinals in the NL Central.  

With him they are the favorites to battle the Cubs for the Division crown.  Without him they are a questionable team with gaping holes in their line-up.

The Jason Bay signing is interesting.  We know he will help improve an atrocious Mets offense, adding power and run production to a team starving for runs, but the Mets have so many other issues to deal with.  Their starting pitching is suspect with Johan Santana’s support staff of Oliver Perez, John Maine, and Mike Pelfrey. 

The key for the Mets is the same with or without Bay; they need to stay healthy.  If Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes can stay healthy, they look like a good team. But right now they look like a team full of what-if’s?

Something to look forward to besides the next blizzard is the Hall of Fame announcement on Wednesday at 1pm ET. 

I would be surprised if Bert Blyleven and Andre Dawson aren’t voted into the HOF this year.  Blyleven had nearly 300 wins to go along with 3,701 strikeouts, and Dawson was one of the best players of his generation.  Deep down I’m pulling for these two to get in. – Dan Plesac
