-P- Nice work, Wild Things. Publicity stunt of the year.
Brilliant.
-P- Ryan Doumit and Chris Duffy have been activated from the 60-day DL. No word yet on any corresponding transactions.
-P- C.C. Sabathia won the Cy Young award.
-P- The Cubs dealt Craig Monroe to the Twins for a player to be named. If the Twins are looking to insure themselves against the loss of Torii Hunter, this isn't the way to do it - Monroe made almost $5 million last year and will be eligible for arbitration again. He's a really bad player and won't be worth whatever he'd make there, so the Twins may attempt to reach a settlement with him.
-P- The Yanks and Jorge Posada have apparently agreed to a four-year deal worth at least $52 million. This may be a situation where the Yankees end up holding the bag, but Posada's a tough player to evaluate - he's 36, and as a catcher, he should be on his way out, but he just had his best season ever. One wonders what, if anything, this tells us about what the Yankees' offseason plan will be.
