King Felix wins Cy!

I would have no problem with Lee or Weaver winning it either. Anybody else that should have been in the conversation? Second tier for me was Marcum, Sabathia, Price, Lester, Verlander, Lewis, and some others depending on where you draw the line.

Uggla to Braves!

Uggla for Infante and Dunn. Good deal? How much better are the braves?

Free agent destinations: Derek Jeter

Question, is there anyplace Derek Jeter could play besides the Yankees? I have a few ideas. For one, he's a better hitter than people in WAS, KC, OAK, PIT, TB, CIN, TEX, LAA, MIL, BAL. Of those teams, I'd remove TEX, MIL, TB, WAS, and LAA because they seem to be betting on their young shortstops to develop. I'd remove KC, OAK, PIT for money reasons.

Of those that are left, only CIN and BAL would seem like teams who could afford a player of Jeter's stature. The Reds declined Cabrera's option, which almost makes me think they want to go young and cheap no matter how much they risk the offensive production. Baltimore seems to be rebuilding, and betting on an aging player may not be a move they would consider. SF has a hole if they don't like Uribe, but for some reason I can't see SF paying big bucks for a shortstop.

So how much do the Yankees end up paying Derek Jeter?
