The New York Yankees earned an A+ for their overall efforts on and off the field during the 2009 season, as they captured the 27th World Series championship in franchise history.

Mitre remains under team control and is arbitration eligible. 12:43pm: George A. King III of The NY Post has some Yankee rumbings for us today, so let's round 'em up... GM Brian Cashman said he's received calls from various agents, but hasn't returned them yet because he has to "wait to see about payroll." The team's pro scout meetings begin ...

Brian Cashman is letting the free agent river run down River Ave. to his Yankee Stadium door.
