Edwin Encarnacion is the best player right now still in the free agency market. At the start of the offseason, Encarnacion was given a qualifying offer by his former team, the Toronto Blue Jays. He turned it down and since then, he hasn't gotten a huge offer that has been up for consideration. Here are some possible places Edwin Encarnacion could go and where he went at the end

1. St. Louis Cardinals

With the recent signing of Dexter Fowler, it seems like the Cardinals are all in. To compete with the Cubs in the NL Central, you need a powerful offensive lineup. Encarnacion can be the guy that helps them make a playoff run in 2017.

2. Houston Astros

The Astros are in need for a 1st baseman. Yulieski Gurriel isn't going to get the job done at 1st and bringing in Encarnacion can fill that roll at 1st and make a big impact for them. The Astros are going to have to pay big money for him but it will be well worth it.

3. Seattle Mariners

They have the cash to go out and get a big-time free agent. Seattle hasn't made the postseason in a long time and the time is now for Seattle to make a big splash this offseason. Seattle is missing a big piece and Encarnacion is the guy they need.

4. Texas Rangers

Encarnacion could possibly land in the Lon Star State. The Rangers are World Series contenders year after year and always fall up short. The window is closing on the Rangers success as many of their players are in last years of their contracts. Encarnacion will make this team better and possibly Win a World Series Championship with him.

Update:

Edwin Encarnacion ended up going to the Cleveland Indians and he will make a big impact there.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
