Daily Links - Shorty Version
A few to start your day...
- The Red Sox are not, repeat: NOT!, going to trade for Alfonso Soriano. You may now halt your heavy breathing, step outside the shower and replace your clothes.
- WEEI's Alex Speier has a typically excellent piece on finding diamonds in the rough in the draft. It's called, appropriately, Josh Reddick and the Art of Finding Diamonds In The Rough.
- At Fan Graphs, Mike Newman looks at Red Sox prospect Sean Coyle. Like Dustin Pedroia, Coyle is a short-ish middle infielder, so the comparisons are understandable, but Mr. Newman doesn't feel they are fair or accurate.
- Surviving Grady perfectly encapsulates the mood in Red Sox nation over the news that Bobby Jenks has now had to have a second back surgery
- The Platoon Advantage offers three Hall of Fame ballots for your edification and amusement (one, two, three).
- Finally, A-Rod wears glasses. Really.

The fact that Alex Rodriguez is dating Torrie Wilson
makes me want to punch people and things.
RUINER!
GODDAMMIT, I HATE A-ROD!
Galactus does as he pleases. Because Galactus is drunk.

I'm pretty sure my two celebrity crushes are safe from A-Rod's ruinous clutches.
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

Well...
… Bea Arthur and Estelle Getty are both dead, but don’t put anything past A-Rod.

Neko Case and Jewel Staite aren't well known enough for him
Plus they’re also both huge nerds, I don’t know if either of them even watch baseball. His pickup line of “Hey, you, I’m Alex Rodriguez” would be met with a blank stare and “who?”

Have you seen A-Rod's nerd glasses?
He’s clearly positioning himself for a run at Neko Case.

Nerd glasses or hipster glasses? I have hipster glasses and am apparently a twin of Buddy Holly now.

They're pretty much the same thing.
