Today's links come to you from Colorado's (non-fruited) high plains

• For years I've been meaning to update my old transactions primer. Well, thanks to this kick in the pants maybe I'll finally get that done.

• John Walsh's annual study of outfield arms deserves more than a mere Filbert.

• ShysterBall wonders if George Mitchell will do the same for the Middle East that he did for MLB.

• Nice interview with a terribly underrated hitter. And c'mon, Nationals: figure out a way to get this guy into a uniform again! It's not like you've got anything else going on.

• You think Curt Schilling belongs in the Hall of Fame? Oddly enough, Schilling doesn't. Or so he says. With him, I'm never quite sure …

• As Jack Curry writes, there sure are a lot of unemployed (future) Hall of Famers running around loose these days.

• And speaking of them: Wow. Just, wow.
