Brian, New Denver, BC: Hi Joe:

Thanks for answering the fans' questions. What do see as the top priority, if any, during the winter meetings, as opposed to priorities that can be resolved later, and how do you suggest that management deal with the top priority?
Joe Strauss: LH relief and at least half the middle infield equation should be the first addressed. I think it's fair to suggest the club come off it's longstanding reluctance to pay decent $$$ for a starting second baseman. There is no looming organizational alternative there, despite recent enthusiasm for Tyler Greene. I would expect Adam Kennedy to be moved by Christmas.

Joe Strauss: That's going to have to do it for this week. Again, there's a decent possibility we may hold at least two chats from Las Vegas, likely beginning at Noon Central Time. Stay tuned. All the ChatMeister wants is a new board for Christmas.
