Hello all, and welcome to our weekly baseball chat.\r
\r
Wednesday features no Red Sox game, so we figured that would be a good day to hold our weekly -- if sometimes \"floating'' -- chat.\r
\r
Get your questions in now and we'll happily answer them Wednesday afternoon.\r
\r
Remember, please don't comment on questions left by others.\r
\r
Thanks and see you then.\r
