Monday Morning Open Thread

I'm almost back, but not quite. Not yet, at least. In any event, though, the Giants are World Series champions (again), the off-season is here, and the open floor of free agency is opening up, with Texas needing to make final decisions on whether to extend qualifying one-year, $13.3 million offers to Josh Hamilton (a virtual certainty) and Mike Napoli (a tad less certain) by Friday afternoon. 

I'll be back soon to dive into it.
