The biggest news may be the National League MVP, winning his second, Jose Alberto Pujols.

I think he deserved it, but he didn’t seem to get a ton of recognition for his godly season. He hit .357, boosting his career average to .334. He hit 37 homers, surpassing 300 on his 8 year career, and will pass 1,000 RBIs next year. He also scored 1 more run than last year, bouncing back from his first sub-100 run season, with 99 in ’07. Is he headed for the Hall Of Fame? Tell me your opinion.

Secondly, apparently there are “nine or 10” teams interested in Rafael Furcal.

As it said on mlb.com, the A’s and Giants are after the shortstop. So are the Dodgers (well, yeah) and Cardinals, but those are the only ones specified. So, after his fluky .366 average in 32 games before missing most of the season, do you think the four years and $10 million a year he’s asking is too much, or too big a risk.

Third, it was announced today that the Yankees would open the new Yankee Stadium versus the Cubs in a pair of exhibition games on the 3rd and 4th of April.

Since there is nothing really controversial about this (I think it’s cool), I don’t have a question for you about it.

Finally, I’ve seen murmurs of a weird trade going down.

Dontrelle Willis for Julio Lugo? Two bad contracts for each other? What do you think of this? It’s a terrifying thought the Red Sox are clearing up the shortstop position for Mike Lowell or Kevin Youkilis, so first base is open for M-M-Mark T-T-Te- No! Don’t jinx it! Tell me what you think.
