Friday Afternoon Linkapalooza: 9/13/13

Big series this weekend. HYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGE series.  Don't need any lead in other than that.  Now onto the links!

- On Monday, el duque of It Is High... pointed out something else Dellin Betances was left out of besides the bullpen pecking order.

- On Tuesday, SJK of NoMaas turned everyone's attention back to the numbers to show how terrible an all-around baseball player Eduardo Nunez is and has been this and every season.  You know, in case you were still bummed that he lost his job to Brendan Ryan.

- Greg Corcoran of Bronx Baseball Daily released his end-of-season Top 50 Prospects list.  Props to Greg for going through the effort of ranking 50.  I have a hard enough time doing 30.

- On Wednesday, Hunter Farman of Yanks Go Yard campaigned for the Yankees to get active in the Japanese FA agent market again now that their rotation is looking light for 2014 and Masahiro Tanaka appears to be heading stateside.

- Andrew Mearns of Pinstriped Bible analyzed the Overbay/Reynolds first base platoon and how well that's worked out since the acquisition of Reynolds.

- Matt Warden of RAB broke down the Yankees' pursuit of Japanese FA to be Masahiro Tanaka and how he would fit into next year's plans.

- On Thursday, Daniel Burch of The Greedy Pinstripes looked ahead to 2014 and the free agents available to fill the gap expected to be left open at third base.

- Chad Jennings of LoHud had the video and highlights of Derek Jeter's press conference announcing his season-ending DL stint.

- Jason Rosenberg of IIATMS/TYA used a recent Jayson Stark article to show how the thinking is still ass backwards when it comes to PEDs and DUIs in baseball.

- On Friday, Tom Ley of Deadspin chimed in with another dose of proper perspective on the A-Rod situation.  Anybody still trying to argue that they don't want him on the field is an idiot.

Going back to another standby for this week's jam, "Street Carp" by Deftones.  Haven't had them in the mix since the new album last fall.  Today feels like a good day to dust off something from their peak years.



Enjoy your weekends, everybody.  Be on the lookout for a live blog this Sunday.  I think Yanks-Sawx is the ESPN Sunday night game.
