Alex Belth at Bronx Banter has an interview with Ken Burns, the documentary film maker. Well worth the read.

And Al's Ramblings has an interview with Mike Gimbel of Red Sox infamy. Mike has a comment that I agree with:

Every single MLB team has the possibility of contending immediately, even the worst organizations. I think that was proven both in Montreal and Boston when I was a consultant to Dan Duquette. There were numerous players available to fill holes. The first step is to decide what players are valuable and what players might have more value in trade than actual value on the field. All other players are expendable.
