Not much happening at the meetings thus far.  Just a few notes:

• Legendary reporter Peter Gammons, no doubt lured by the golden beacon of light emanating from Heidi Watney’s bosom, will be joining NESN and the MLB Network.
• Peter Abraham (an excellent addition to the local media, by the way) reports that the Sox will not be spending big money on additional bullpen arms after our relief corps was scalped by the Braves.  I agree with the strategy, for what it’s worth.  No need to spend $7 million on a guy who will throw 50-65 low-leverage innings.
• The Cardinals have signed Brad Penny.  Expect him to win 23 games, strike out 320 batters, and cure leukemia.
• Nothing new on Jason Bay, but I’ll keep you posted.  After the Figgins deal, I have a feeling that Seattle won’t be in serious contention to sign Bay, especially if they truly plan on signing Felix Hernandez to an extension.  It will probably come down to the Angels and Red Sox.

Stay tuned.
