Ryan Sendek (as always) has an educated and terrific response to a question about the Marlins' spending spree. Check it out over at Analysis Around the Horn.
Sooze over at Babes Love Baseball doesn't think that Jose Reyes looks good in a Marlins uniform. But then again, perhaps she doesn't think anybody would look good in those duds.
Absolutely love the post from Baseball Franchise Rankings on who the second wild card would have been over the last sixteen years.

If you haven't been following along with The Golden Sombrero's Top 50 Prospects series, you're missing out. The latest is on Robbie Erlin.
The Hall of Very Good is having a great off season and stayed very active. This post about John Rocker's new book is the kind of content you don't see anywhere else.
