Monday Links

As promised, here's your Monday update to catch you up on the top baseball stories from the weekend.

First of all, for all your Diamondbacks musings from the weekend, head over to Nick Piecoro's blog at AZcentral. He has thoughts on the big trade last week, Gerardo Parra's leg injury which was not as bad as first thought, and Arizona's interest in Matt Capps.

Then, go here for a list of all the players that became free agents after being non-tendered by their clubs. Followed by this list of those who were given contracts and are staying with their current teams.

I always liked this guy. He pitched for the Reds years ago and has an awesome name. It's somewhat sad to be signing a minor league contract at the age of 38 though.

Peter Gammons is leaving ESPN to go and work for the MLB Network. I'm not in love with his work as many baseball fans are, but I appreciate what he did over the years.

For some non-baseball news, keep reading....

When you are in the fantasy football playoffs, and you also play in a points per reception league, it's probably better that your opponent doesn't set an NFL record for most receptions per game. Barring a miracle on MNF, my fantasy football seasons (yes, multiple leagues) all came to an end this weekend.

Where I'm from originally, this is still a big college basketball game. Last night was no exception.

Speaking of college basketball, John Wall and the UK Wildcats are pretty good. If you don't like UK, you better stop coming to this blog because I'm probably the biggest UK fan in northern Indiana.

One final college basketball story, Roy Williams apparently finds it offensive for a Presbyterian College fan to yell "Don't miss, Deon" as one of his players is shooting a free throw. Is that really bad enough to kick the guy out of the arena?
