The combined win percentage of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment teams - the Leafs, Raptors, Marlies and Toronto FC - for the most recently completed season or season in progress heading into last night is .383.

Blame his coaching or blame him, but it ain't looking good for the top pick of 2006. That said, playing the "imagine if the Raptors drafted (Brandon Roy or Lamarcus Aldridge) instead..." doesn't work either. More than a few scouts and GM's had Bargnani rated tops.

I want to thank the good lord for making me a Yankee
Check out our soon to be new first baseman
Safest move of the off-season. Like I've said before, signing pitchers to long term deals is a big risk - one elbow or shoulder and they could be done.
Wanger will be most pumped to get an improved glove at first over Giambino. That eliminates any idea of Jeter at first in the future. Guessing he ends up in right?
...that isn't to say I wasn't jacked to sign CC and AJ, just that they're risks, no matter how durable CC has been in the past.
