On Johan, A-Rod and Johnny

Four interesting stories on the interweb today:

The Twins still want to deal Johan Santana and the Mets looks like the team. I’m almost as tired of this story as I am the Roger Clemens/Brian McNamee soap opera. Just trade the guy.

Alex Rodriguex has taken a player from the University of Miami under his wing. Saw lots of this sort of thing with Robbie and Melky last year.

Johnny Damon is stumping for Rudy Giuliani in Florida. Why would anybody vote based on what a baseball player said?

Old friend Scotty Proctor signed a $1.1 million deal with the Dodgers. There’s earning your money and then there’s earning your money. Good for him.

Peter Gammons mentioned this blog in his latest ESPN.com offering. As a kid who grew up in the 1970s and 80s (before SportsCenter and the web), Peter Gammons was how you found out about baseball. His Sunday notes column in the Globe was my bible. Thanks for the props, Commish.

If for some reason you’ve missed them, please read the guests posts today from Todd Drew and Will Carroll. Both are terrific pieces of writing in far different ways.
