Monday Night Open Thread

Buster Olney started his annual look at the top ten players at each position yesterday — not quite sure why he started it on a Sunday, but whatever — with the catchers and continued today with the first basemen. Both articles are Insider only. Brian McCann ranked eighth on the catcher list, behind Devin Mesoraco and Yan Gomes and ahead of Miguel Montero. That sounds about right to me. Mark Teixeira didn’t even make the first base list. Not even the honorable mention. From here on out, I’m guessing we’ll only see Yankees make the left field, center field, maybe starting pitcher (Masahiro Tanaka), and relief pitcher lists. That’s all.

Anyway, here is tonight’s open thread. The Steelers and Titans are the Monday Night Football Game, plus the Nets and Rangers are playing. Ryan Callahan will be back in Madison Square Garden for the first time since being traded away last March. That’ll be neat. Talk about anything and everything right here.
