I can barely talk. Must be the Yankees! For the past five games of this very special World Series, I have watched the hits and steals from the comfort of my warm couch, flannel blanket, glass of wine ...

Chapman to the Mets would be a miracle
The 'Ropolitans | NY Mets Baseball Blog —
Two weeks ago I wrote that Aroldis Chapman should not be in Mets fans plans for the future of the franchise. Today, I’m writing…to re-state that opinion. Yes, Chapman has met with Mets officials. Yes, he was “said” to be “considering” the Mets. But for the money he wants, do you even want the Mets to spend much on a pitcher who is said to have, “a ways to go before he's ready to pitch in the major leagues, physically and emotionally”? Don’t get your hopes up, Mets fans. In fact, wouldn’t you rather see the team spend the $40-60 million he’s asking for in a bunch of different places? ...
Kurkjian on the Yanks
Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog —
From Tim Kurkjian: 1. How will the world champion Yankees rework their roster? They have three primary free agents, left fielder Johnny Damon, designated hitter Hideki Matsui and starting pitcher Andy Pettitte. Last winter, the Yankees didn't even make an offer to Bobby Abreu or Jason Giambi, allowing each to leave via free agency even though each had recorded pretty good numbers in 2008. Look for the same thing to happen with Damon and Matsui even though Matsui won the World Series MVP on the strength of his record-tying six RBIs in the clinching Game 6. The Yankees seem to be slowly moving away from having ...

YanksBlog.com —
2010 Roster Suggestions: It's only been a few days since we won, but ESPN's Tim Kurkjian and the Daily News' John Harper both have thoughts on who the 2010 Yankees roster should contain. Kurkjian suggests the Yankees might let both Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon go and look at Matt Holliday and Jason Bay. He also thinks they might move Joba Chamberlain to the bullpen and Phil Hughes back to the rotation. Harper agrees with the idea of Joba to the pen, but says that the team should try to sign both Damon and Matsui. Both he and Kurkjian have more suggestions, as ...

MetsBlog.com —
In a report for ESPN.com, Tim Kurkjian looks at 10 stories to watch this off season, including, “Will the Mets improve enough to get back into the race in the NL East?”
…that’s more like a 2010 story, answered one year from now, not just in a few months…
According to Kurkjian, the Mets need free-agent OF Matt Holliday, of whom he writes, “Given his age, his character and his incredible strength, you have to think he’s worth the risk, even at around, say, $18 million a year.”
