RockRaines Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I wanted to just address one. I think the trade deadline will be active for us this year. After teams win the WS alot of time the next year, injuries effect the repeat performance. I believe that this may happen to us this year. Because of this, I see us making a huge move to salvage our season at the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
