Yes, because he certainly deserved to be second in the voting last year.Quote:

I don't think Epstein is looking at this as a rental either; I suspect he thinks he can resign Gagne to be the closer next year and move Papelbon to the rotation (which I've said would be a stupid move all along). Papelbon has established himself as an elite closer and shouldn't be touched.Quote:

I'm more impressed with Bond's 275 ops+ in 2002, then his career total home runs.Quote:

Adam Eaton still belongs in prison.
No asterisk was ever affixed to Maris' record. During the 1961 season, Commissioner (and famed Ruth nuthugger) Frick suggested that two records should be kept - one for the 154 game season and one for the 162 game season - if Maris needed the additional games to break or tie the record. I do not believe this suggestion was ever seriously followed.Quote:

Yanks are now tied for the Wild Card, unbelievable.
I sincerely hope the Yankees grab the Wildcard.
