Diamond Notes by Joe Boesch 
So here we are.
It’s November and the winter weather is here. The madness has begun. Tis’ the season for shopping, but for baseball it’s the time for the Hot Stove season and a cup of Java — your choice Starbucks, Seattle’s Best, D&D, 7-Eleven, etc.
As I write this, and sip on my Chocolate Swirl Java, the Hot Stove is slowly heating up. We can thank the Braves for the start, as they have made it known that they are raising their payroll. All I’m saying right now: I like what the Braves are doing already.
Last season I predicted the Mets in the Fall Classic, but my prediction fell short. This upcoming season, I think the Rangers, Braves & Dodgers are going to make some noise. No predictions on the World Series yet, but I do have some teams I like. I’ll just say one of them is down South, near maybe Atlanta? Now back to the Ohtani watch. Where will he end up? Only he knows.
Until then, back to my Java and the Hot Stove.
