In case you missed it – weekend links…

Think the Roddy White situation is bad? How about super-agent Eugene Parker threatening to have Michael Crabtree re-enter the 2010 draft and not sign with San Francisco ? Worst part about this story is that Parker has yet to make an offer to the 49ers…

The Braves finally signed Mike Minor, beating the deadline by a week and a half. He will receive 2.42 million, just a hair over the franchise record bonus given to Jeff Francoeur in 2002. There are still 19 unsigned 1st rounder’s and Minor is just the 2nd to receive an above-slot amount…

Let’s see what all the ticked-off Indians fans do now that their owner is projecting a 16 million dollar loss for the 2009 season. They are mad at the organization, but is not showing up anymore and getting that number closer to 20 million going to make things better?

Looks like Brian Giles has more issues than a .191 average in 225 at bats this year…

Many people around baseball are impressed with the season that Gordon Beckham is putting together…

For those frustrated with the Harry Douglas injury, here is a reminder of why Laurent Robinson is no longer with the Falcons…

The twitter discipline is becoming rampant. Darren Bent, Antonio Cromartie, and JR Smith have all had blow-ups this week...

I am pretty excited to see how Jozy Alitdore does in his new role in the Premier League. He seems pretty confident he will fit in just fine…

Interesting analysis on the Braves rotation and what to do when Tim Hudson returns on talkingchop.com

Thanks to baseball-reference.com for this interesting stat from the season. Only 7 players have reached base safely in more than 90 games this year. They are: Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder, Adrian Gonzalez, Adam Dunn, Mark Teixeira, Ichiro Suzuki, and of course, Marco Scutaro…

Off to Tampa …
