Here's a tidbit

for Moose's dry erase board:

Largest payroll in the major leagues: $200M-plus
Paydays for fading stars: $100M-plus

on Joe Torre. Talks about the wealth of young talent in the Dodger organization, which reminds Torre of 1995, when Posada, Jeter, Pettite and Mo were infusing the Yankees with some much needed new blood.

Maybe Torre knew a thing or two about this rebuilding process?

Ed Valentine of Bugs & Cranks must read PA.

He wrote a piece this morning focusing on this very quote from Giambi too.

They'll turn it around.
