Yup. I haven’t been around the last week or so. I guess I just want some time off and soak up the Yankees world championship.

I love the comfort of just having won when talking about next year(s) ... There's no desperation. I have to wonder why the Yankees aren't going after starting pitching, when they're a bit thin in that department. And I figure it's for a similar reason: lack of desperation.

But I hope it's not Montero if they do pull that one off. How do yo let go of a hitter like that after all you've gone through the last thirty years? You do what you can to get that bat in the lineup, like KC with Butler. [5] That may not be as crazy as you think. But I hope it’s not Montero if they do pull that one off.

Didn't bother to read much of the printed articles that were likely K&CYA-type analyses of the series and entire season. Still couldn't afford to buy a jacket, but I got a couple of tees I will personalize (if you ever run into a guy wearing a WS champs t-shirt with something crazy on the back, guess who?)

He's going to be looking for $20 million per season after his 2009 and I think that's going to be his best season. That and the Tigers probably don't have much to spend in that economy.

"I won't get into that because that is best kept internal," he said. Verlander can become a free agent after the 2011 season. Get ready for the next Johan/Halladay soap opera everybody! well I’ll kick it off, via MLBTR:
