The Yankees' 27th title is surely impressive, but even more astonishing isthe 'Core Four.' Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada and MarianoRivera are constant faces in the team's success, Scott Miller says.
The Cardinals would love to keep Matt Holliday, but he won't come cheap. Scott Boras will see to that. So prepare for a lengthy sweepstakes -- with the ultimate destination truly unknown, Scott Miller says.

Toronto's 32-year-old GM is in his first offseason. He doesn't mention the Yankees, but is big on 'foundation.' And the key aspect of this project is a final decision on whether Roy Halladay stays or goes, Scott Miller says.
Two of the Angels' key pieces -- John Lackey and Chone Figgins -- are free agents. It will be an upset if the Angels keep both, but that won't stop them from trying, Scott Miller says in Short Hops.

Teams are facing a thin free-agent class and an even thinner economy. What's left to do? Wheeling and dealing. GMs are laying the groundwork during their meetings, Scott Miller says.
Ten months after spending $400 million, the Yankees tried to portray themselves as underdogs. Yes, they were relentless and are worthy of being called champions, but they still don't apologize for being the best team money can buy, Scott Miller says.

The Angels won't step aside that easily. In a seesaw game, L.A. gets the final word, eking out a 7-6 win over the Yanks to force Game 6. The Halos' seventh-inning rally gives them life, Scott Miller says.
Just win ... or else. Playoffs are a cruel time for managers as every move is triple-guessed. The pressure is on the Yankees' Joe Girardi and it will grow if New York stumbles in Game 6, Scott Miller says.
Having no Derek Jeter in the World Series the past six years has been odd, like October without pumpkins. Thankfully, Jeter's clutch, dreamy and consistent greatness is back in the Fall Classic, Scott Miller says.
Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia could have won titles for the Indians. Instead, they will face each other for the Phillies and Yankees. Both have come a long way -- and there will be long faces in Cleveland during Game 1, Scott Miller says.
Cliff Lee silences the New York lineup and most of the fans at the Yankees' new palace. Now the Yankees have to rely on A.J. Burnett, Andy Pettitte and questionable set-up men to get them back in the World Series, Scott Miller says.
