Hall-of-Famer Tracey Ringolsby writes the most complete overview of the National League Hot Stove.  The gist?  Don’t look for the Astros to be any better.  The Brewers are fighting hard to fill holes, as are the Giants.  Several teams are waiting on a player of players to make up their minds before they move on to plan B- the Mets included.  The Phillies are focused and the Dodgers have no money.

The piece though is well worth read, because it really does give you a sense of where every team stands- especially those little deals that most of us have probably forgotten about.
