Some stuff that caught my eye over the weekend:
-Baseball America has the full list of their top 100 prospects for 2011. It looks like 3 former Silver Hawks on the list.
-Steve Gilbert of mlb.com is updating his blog frequently during spring training and always has good information..
-Hall of Famer Duke Snider passed away. Well before my time, but a heck of a great ballplayer.

Spring Training Links
I do this occasionally, but I like to remind you of some of the best places to follow updates and reports from Spring Training. Typically I'll link to these if I see something Silver Hawks related, but if you want some general information about the Diamondbacks and other teams, these are the places to go.
-Obviously, the national websites like ESPN.com, Sportsline.com, and CNNSI.com have good info on the major league teams.
-The main team webpage is http://diamondbacks.mlb.com/. This will have your basic information, news releases, etc.
-Steve Gilbert is the beat writer for the above site. His blog is here: http://taoofsteve.mlblogs.com/. Right now he has more info on Clay Zavada being a no-show to camp.
-The main paper that covers the team is the Arizona Republic, and their specific Diamondbacks page can be found here: http://www.azcentral.com/sports/diamondbacks/
-For more from the Republic's beat writer Nick Piecoro, here's his blog link: http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/NickPiecoro/Page0.
-If you want more Minor League info, try http://www.futurebacks.com/.
-Finally, if you just want to follow the Silver Hawks, there are four great ways to do so:
1) http://www.silverhawks.com/
2) This blog, which I don't have to link to because you already found it
3) www.facebook.com/southbendsilverhawks
4) www.twitter.com/Silver_Hawks
Enjoy!

Lunchtime Links
I'm so hungry I'm about to gnaw my arm off, but before I go to lunch, I will post some baseball-related links for you (because your happiness is more important than my hungry stomach).
-First, I'm not a real big fan of Gene Wojciechowski (mainly b/c I had to refer back to the article page 4 times to spell his name right), nor am I a real big fan of Pete Rose anymore (should be in the Hall based on his playing career, but the guy is a first rate...well, pick whatever word you want to fill in). However, Gene makes an interesting case about Mark McGwire versus Pete Rose. It's worth the read whether you like them both, hate them both, or just like baseball.
-Andre Dawson wanted to go into the Hall of Fame as a Cub. They said "nope, you're an Expo."
-Speaking of the Cubs, they signed former Silver Hawk Chad Tracy to a Minor League deal yesterday.

Monday Morning Links (January 11th)
As I try to recover from the heartbreak of the Bengals loss this weekend, here's a batch of links for you to keep you up to date on the top stories in baseball:
-In a stunning bit of news, the Cincinnati Reds swept in and apparently won the bidding war for the services of Cuban pitcher Aroldis Chapman. I'm a Reds fan, and I didn't see this happening in a million years, so trust me when I tell you it is a great surprise to the people of Cincinnati.
-Vlad Guerrero has signed with the Texas Rangers. The last paragraph of the article linked here presents a very interesting stat.
-Derek Jeter is getting married. Clearly he learned nothing from Tiger Woods.
-Finally, Baseball America has the top 10 prospects for the Indians (who are now in the MWL with the addition of the Lake County Captains) and the Tigers (West Michigan Whitecaps)

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?

Hitting The Links
No, I'm not golfing (although I certainly wish I was). Instead, here are a bunch of links to fill your baseball fix for today.
-MLB Trade Rumors has a list of all the 2010 Free Agents. This list is constantly changing and updated, so feel free to bookmark it.
-The Diamondbacks were busy yesterday...buying out Chad Tracy, passing three players through waivers and sending them to AAA, and losing Yusmeiro Petit and Doug Slaten to waiver claims. I have to admit, I'm not sad to see Petit go...I could never get his name right on the air.
-A big ole oops for Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum. He's a great picher, but this isn't smart.
-In a story related to my post yesterday about big markets teams buying up the smaller markets best players, the Marlins have traded Jeremy Hermida to the Red Sox. I'd say the Marlins wanted to trade him to get something for him before losing him to free agency. Peter Gammons has more.
-Finally, the Mets and Braves don't have teams in the Midwest League, but Baseball America has published the top 10 prospects for each team.

Odds and Ends
A few baseball-related links for you today:
-The Astros have hired Red Sox bench coach Brad Mills as their new manager. For those of you lifelong Midwest League fans, Mills managed Peoria in 1989.

-Former Silver Hawks pitcher Brian Bruney has been added to the Yankees World Series roster.
-ESPN's Jayson Stark tells us that this World Series will determine the Team of the Decade.
-Everyone at ESPN.com is making their World Series predictions, so I will make mine as well. I like the Phillies in 6.
