Tumbleweeds

Its the calm before the storm, and there's simply nothing to say about the Royals right now. I can't quite pull the trigger on a Baseball Prospectus subscription to get PECOTA projections, so I'm not available for comment. I still have a visceral anipathy towards subscribing to Internet sites. Place ads everywhere, please.

On Jason Giambi - this has to be the biggest non-story of the year. Bottom line - if he plays even reasonably well this season (and I think he will), all of this steroid nonsense will fade into the background.
