Links for 11/17/09

Some afternoon links….

• Mister Baseball talks about the structure of a new Italian baseball league that is forming. Interesting to read about how the sport is growing in other countries besides the U.S., Japan, and Latin America.
• Jason Grey has his wrapup about AFL outfielders. A definite good read for anyone interested in prospects.
• Project Prospect has their top 15 centerfielders. No real argument here with Jennings at the top.
• Baseball America has released their top 10 prospects for the Braves, Marlins, Mets, Nationals, Phillies, and the most recent was the Cubs.

Weekly Links

Once a week, I will be posting articles and links that I found interesting related to baseball.

- Baseball America has begun posting its organizational top 10 prospects. They started with Atlanta. For more in-depth information, you’ll need to subscribe. It does give some good basic info though.
- One of the Philadelphia papers made a mistake. Not a particularly good one either. After losing both games at home, I’d probably be pretty upset too.
- Jorge Says No! is starting a series of columns reviewing some of the worst contracts in baseball, beginning with Jake Westbrook. Interesting read, and I’m looking forward to the future columns as well.
-Yawkey Way Academy looks at what it would take for the Red Sox to acquire Javy Vasquez from the Braves. I love these “what-if” articles. Always fun to play the GM. (Thanks to OvertheMonster for the link)
- Vicente Padilla apparently has a small problem. But he’s going to be fine, and apparently there’s interest from the Dodgers in him returning next season.
