Baseball’s Savior

Mariano Rivera is the lone holdout but he appears to be close to signing the three year, $45 million deal the Yankees offered him last week.  When Rivera signs, that’ll leave just Andy Pettitte as the lone hold out from last year’s team.  The Yankees still need to figure out who will play first base and it’s looking like Mike Lowell won’t be an option.  Still, I think the Yankees could find a better bargain out there.

Things were definitely looking grim this time last month.  Now, a lot of the key players are back.  The rotation still has its holes but you have to hope the Yankees have that under control as well.
