I get the feeling Beane approaches every off season in the same manner:
First, he asks the questions, "What do I have on the roster?"
Then he asks, "Will this roster make the post season next year?"
If a post season berth seems unlikely then he asks, "What do I need to add to get this team into October?"
Then he starts making moves.
With that in mind, I wanted to take a look at an early projection of next season's opening day roster, as it stands right now.
