Friday Rockpile: I should have a title here but you'll need to settle for this

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving. December is almost upon us, which means the Winter Meetings. Things'll pick up around here once those start. On Tuesday, Baseball America will unveil the Rockies' 2010 Top 10 Prospect List, providing a starting point for discussion. Until then, here's some news from around the National League.

Tate continues trend: On mend - Sports - SignOnSanDiego.com
Donovan Tate, the Padres' selection at the number three slot in the 2009 draft, had surgery on October 7 and he's been doing nothing for the last month. While he might not like it much, it's better than following the Matt Bush School of Histrionics.

Chicago Cubs aren't going to rush Starlin Castro -- chicagotribune.com
The Cubs have a hotshot shortstop coming up, which will move Ryan Theriot over to second base. In other news, this does not put the Cubs any closer to winning a World Series.

Holliday open to playing in any part of the country
Our ol' buddy, national traveler.

Phillies' Moyer back in hospital for 'evaluation' | Philadelphia Daily News | 11/27/2009

People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. ~Rogers Hornsby

I won't lie, I thought about it too

I just don’t think we can beat the 100M+ that some team will dish out for him

Hope got in my eyes

I don't know

how long Damon can keep playing at the level he has lately (although that new park has helped a little bit).
