Free Agents This Offseason

As over three weeks have passed since the Cub's broke the curse one of my favorite parts of the baseball season has begun. The Offseason where player's who's contracts are finished can go and sign to the highest bidder, or to where they want to go and continue their career. In my opinion there are three Free Agents that will have the biggest impact for their new teams.

1. Yoenis Cespedes

The best all around player that is available this offseason will be entering his age 31 season and came off a campaign where he had 31 home runs in only 131 games. Cespedes opted out of a great contract with the Mets because he feels that their is more money to be made out in free agency. That is why I feel like the Dodgers will make a big splash for his services with their blank check policy.

2. Aroldis Chapman

The Cuban missile who won his first championship with the Cubs this season is one of the best closers in the game. The combination of age and dominating seasons he is a great peace to add to any bullpen. The Cubs do not seem like the front runners to resign Chapman this offseason especially with the amount of blown saves he had this post season. That is why I see Chapman resigning with the Yankees to add to an already formidable arm in Betances.

3. Ian Desmond

Desmond is my sleeper pick this offseason because he came off a terrific year with the Rangers. He showed off his plus arm, and how he could handle multiple positions in the outfield being converted from a shortstop. Desmond also had great all around offensive numbers. That is why I can see a team over paying for his services making him one of the well sought after free agents this year. If i had to predict I would go with the Mariners as a young rebuilding club who desperately need more right handed bats in their lineup.

Watching this year's off season will be a treat because next year you will have guys like McCutchen and Harper become free agents.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
