I have decided to jump in with everyone else and say what my ideas are for the offseason.
1 - Wait for November 19th. Sometime around 11AM PST the NL Cy Young winner will be announced. I am rooting for Timmy to win it for a couple reasons. The first is he is my favorite player. The second is he is a Giant. The third is because I feel he was the best pitcher in the NL this year.
2 - The second thing I am going to do is wait and see what Giants Brass does.
2a - With each move I will either support it or join the groupthink and call for the head of Brian Sabean.
3 - I will look forward, eagerly, to Spring Training.
4 - Once individual season tickets go on sale, I will do my best to score seats for Opening Day.
5 - I will do my best to keep the snarky comments to a minimum in all these horrible rosterbation threads that are popping up. My eyes have been rolling so hard I think I can see my brain.

Because rosterbation can only take us so far
How is everyone else passing the off season?
Personally I’ve started a combination photography/writing project where I go around meeting street performers and try to get to know them a bit. The photography is done on b/w film and I try to get a snippet of them playing on my flip camera so that I have some audio to go along with the photos and story. I’m not sure what the final version of the project looks like yet, but for now I’m going to try my hand at this blogging thing. Updates will (hopefully) be weekly but we’ll see – I just started building the thing last night.

Well, seeing as how I know more about baseball than all of you people combined, I will be spending my offseason advising all the GMs in the league, as well as all the agents, on what is the best way to go about business. I will also personally help every player in baseball increase their performance by 200% simply by listening to my flawless instruction.

School—papers are taking over my life: one on Syria’s foreign policy and security issues, and one on total fertility rates and what they mean with overpopulation and sub-replacement fertility, which in turn means natalist politics.
Music—marching band season is winding down, with two more field show performances, and the SJ Holiday Parade. The Spartan Marching Band is the first act of the parade. I practice bassoon every day in preparation of the concert Dec 3. I have a solo in one piece and prominent parts in another piece.
Archery—someone was dumb enough to put a weapon in my hands. But seriously, I joined kyudo club at school, where they are teaching me the art of traditional Japanese archery. It’s awesome, and I’ve become very interested in the discipline of archery. I’ve decided to take Western archery as my PE requirement starting in the spring. So far I’ve only practiced my form drawing the bow using a ribbon, but I’m getting it.
And of course, writing about baseball. The sport that never sleeps.

I will either say ‘meh’ to whatever move Sabean makes, or curse his name. I’m really curious what it would be like to be excited about a Brian Sabean move. It’s just… It’s been so long since he’s made a move that’s made me happy!
