Odds and Ends: Griffey, Blue Jays, Roberts

By Tim Dierkes | February 19, 2009 at 12:02pm CDT

Links for Thursday…

  • ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick has details around the Mariners’ Ken Griffey Jr. signing, while Keith Law has criticism for it.  David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution blogs about his "Griffey Chooses Braves" story. MLB.com’s Mark Bowman also has thoughts on the decision not to play for Atlanta, and another postmortem article where he talks to Frank Wren and Chipper Jones.
  • Drunk Jays Fans has a preview of the team.
  • Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun writes in praise of the Brian Roberts extension.  I don’t like the argument that the Orioles needed to sign Roberts because they don’t have a clear successor at second base.
  • RotoAuthority ranks starting pitchers for fantasy baseball.
