My buddy has a friend who works in the front office of the M's. Consequently, he is able to get some inside info in regards to what the team is doing in the offseason, here is what he told me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not much, but some M's tidbits..
1. Boone still pissed off at firing of Melvin.
2. M's already starting to hedge on spending big $ for free agents. Big surprise!
3. Don't be surprised to see Price go with Melvin if Melvin gets Arizona job. Although Price is highly thought of by the organization a bunch of the players don't care for him. Apparently he has become more of a bench coach than a pitching coach. He wouldn't talk to the new guys when they came out of games. Only the vets. Guardado and Meche not big fans of Price.
4. There is another pitching coach in the org that the guys like. Might be the guy at AAA. Not sure.
5. On the final night, Edgar walked out of the ballpark like he always has. You wouldn't know that it was the final time. No surprise. Routine, routine, routine.
6. The DH award named after him is a BIG boost towards Edgar getting the votes for Hall of Fame. Give Selig credit for single handedly putting Edgar several notches up the list in consideration for the hall.Got to run.

discuss! I want Edgar in the hall!
