I'll post these each day so we can add any interesting tidbits we find around the web, or just talk about the activity or lack there of, though, I think we'll have some level of activity. We are apparently shopping for a lefty setup man and a backup shortstop, as well as perhaps an upgrade in centerfield if one should materialize. Here is some of the early buzz and "pre-stories":

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says that we were interested in center fielder Chris Duffy last year as part of the LaRoche deal:

Duffy has been discussed by some Braves fans on this site and others, but he's not much more of a desirable option than the players we already have scheduled to compete for the center field spot.

Buster Olney over at ESPN stirred the pot the other day when he said this, which is less of a rumor than a columnist thinking out loud:

I don't know that we would be in on Cordero. We just don't need him.

It will also be interesting to see if a market actually materializes for Andruw Jones. Many folks think that he will eventually wind up in Dodger blue, but still other sources say Rowand is higher on their priority list.

I'm sure David O'Brien over at the AJC will "file" a new blog with any updates about the goings-on at the winter meetings today. So I'll put that link up and try to highlight the important parts while leaving out any references to motorcycles, cigars, Nashville area diners, music lyrics, or any other ego-stroking that may crop up.
