"This deal does not affect other players. And I don't think it's any great dramatic change in philosophy. These two deals are set for these players. I think you have to take each [player] individually."
Morneau turns 27 this year, so he'll be slated to be in Minnesota until 32. For a fielder in the AL, there's nothing unreasonable about that. In contrast, a mid-30's Santana may not be worth the money. I wish Johan would lessen his demands and be happy with 4-years. Thank you, Scott Boras, for having Barry Zito set a ridiculous bar for quality pitchers.
The Yankees are very close to keeping Robinson Cano in the Bronx through 2011 for $30M, along with one or two club options for afterwards. Clearly, I like this. Not only are we retaining the young talent, but Robbie will still be in pinstripes when his bat reaches its full potential. Awesome (man, where would 2005 have been without Cano).

SC polls close in just over an hour. Will Obama be delivered the win? And if Edwards crashes and burns, what will be his next move?
