Odds already out on 2012
While waiting for CC Sabathia's decision -- it's still expected the pitcher opts out, which has been the organizational expectation since February -- here's something to look at (though not for too long). It's the early odds, courtesy of Bodog, for who wins next season's World Series and who signs Albert Pujols. I should say the Yankees being listed as 12/1 to sign Pujols is, um, a stretch. You never say never with anything but that one is pretty close.
