The Winter Meetings in Nawlins (that's "New Orleans," for those of you unfamiliar with the Cajun of Loozyana) are just 24 hours away, and all signs are that it's going to be a barn-burner. A probable new Boston home for Alex Rodriguez, the predictable subsequent eruptions from Mount Steinbrenner, and a Guerrero-centric shopping spree in Baltimore figure to be the backdrop of one the busiest and most entertaining meetings in years. It will not be lost on Bauxites that all three of these developments concern the AL East -- but them's the cards the Jays have been dealt. By the time these meetings end, Toronto should have come away with one or two free-agent pitchers, perhaps conducted or laid the groundwork for trades, and generally should have all but completed their roster construction for 2004. Hang on to your collective hat, folks -- the Mardi Gras of Winter Meetings oughta be a whole lot of fun.
