Evan Grant writes that Frank Thomas — perhaps he doth protest too much — is upset about Pudge Rodriguez and Jeff Bagwell making the Hall of Fame.

Jim Callis gives Yohander Mendez an honorable mention for best changeup among the best tools of top 100 prospects.
Elvis Andrus just missed making the top ten best shortstops in the majors according to Mike Petriello of MLB dot com.
Nomar Garciaparra finally got around to addressing the fact that he’s no longer the only Nomar in MLB history.

Have a good day.
