Win Some and Lose Some

     Many Yankee fans are delighted that LHP Andy Pettitte put his retirement on hold.  He signed a one-year deal, to pitch for the Bombers in 2008, worth $16M.   

     I couldn't be happier.  The fact that he was contiplating retirement made me feel like a piece of the Yankee puzzle was going to be missing.  Also, this is more meaningful, because two time Cy Young Award Winner Carlos Santana might not be in pinstripes for the 2008 season.  The Yankees still have an interest in aquiring him, but other teams such as the LA Angels of Aneheim do as well.  The Yankees proposed an offer that would send Melky Cabrera, Phil Hughes, and a prospect to Minnesota.

     It will be interesting to watch the negotiations continue over the coming days.
