The doldrums of winter, with no regular baseball to watch, generally lends itself to filling time with something other than writing – if for no other reason than a lack of things to write about.

The UCB Preseason Roundtable discussions continue, with Deaner over at Cardinal Nation Globe posting today about choices for a franchise building block – Albert Pujols exempted.
Tomorrow features a great question from Josh at That’s A Winner – I won’t spoil it, but it’s very pertinent to the Cardinal outlook for coming years.

I wanted to share a couple of quick notes with you folks.
Tomorrow is the scheduled date for the United Cardinal Bloggers’ Blog Swap. You can check out the entire lineup at C70 At The Bat tomorrow morning. The real kicker is that you don’t know who is posting where. We’ll have a guest poster here [...]
