MLBTR: What's your best guess on Andy Pettitte's decision for 2008?

Competition for the top Rumor Royalty honor among Yankees writers was fierce. Such a popular team demands top rumormongering talent and beat writers with connections. When I first started writing MLB Trade Rumors, I hadn't heard much of the Newark Star-Ledger's Dan Graziano. That soon changed as I realized Dan was a proficient provider of Yankees and MLB hot stove buzz. In fact, he's Rumor Royalty for the Yankees. His archive for the Star-Ledger can be found here. Dan was kind enough to answer three questions for MLBTR, and he took the time to answer them thoroughly. I'll break the..   Continue Reading
