THE NUMBER SIX has taken on an importance not seen in Flushing since a ground ball trickled up the first base line some twenty autumns ago. It separates not only the uniform numbers of our newly GQ minted cornerstones, but also, more importantly, a potential reunion between a Jacket and his most lauded disciple. Our sources have indicated that Barry Zito will not pitch in Flushing next season unless he receives a guaranteed 6th year. This is a dealbreaker: Boras already has two teams eager and willing to make Barry theirs through the 2012 season. "It will not take $100 million to close this deal," another source told us via email, "but it will take six years." Given this landscape, it looks as though 6 years, $96 million is "the right combination of years and dollars," and it's up to Omar to "give Barry what he wants - six years alongside David Wright and Jose Reyes." We'll keep you updated as news trickles in.

Woah, awesome site dude! Thanks for the info. Let us know what's up with Zito please.
6 years is fine make it happen omar!!!!!!!!!!!!
theres an article in the san francisco paper today. it looks like zito won't decide for awhile.
I'd be wary of reading too much into that article, Billy. It has "Boras plant" written all over it. One of our well placed Bay Area sources has confirmed that "Barry is exaggerating his regimen by a lot. He's engaged in the process of selling himself, so he's doing what he has to do. And what Scott tells him to do."
