Happy New Year, everyone. As we sit around nursing our hangovers — unless you are a responsible, functioning adult, but where’s the fun in that? — this is generally the day we think about our New Years Resolutions and cry at the work we’ve laid out for ourselves. Maybe you’re going to start hitting the gym everday, or maybe you’re going to cut out sugar, or maybe you’re going to quit smoking. Maybe, after last night, you’ve sworn off drinking. Whatever it is, it always seems a lot easier to accomplish until it’s actually time to follow through.
Along these same lines, the flipping of the calendar represents a bit of a shift in the baseball offseason.
