Foul Balls — ... York Yankees are just one victory away from another World Series championship as they prepare to take on the Phillies tonight in Game 5, but even though the season isn't over yet some folks in Boston are already talking about the future of some Yankee free agents.

They need a leadoff hitter, and while they’d love to sign free agent Chone Figgins and move him to the outfield, he may get too pricy. While Damon has been a No. 2 hitter for the Yankees, he could easily go back to the top spot and give the White Sox some leadoff power. Figgins should still be Kenny Williams’ No. 1 get. He’s younger (he’s 31, Damon turns 36 on Thursday), ...
