Lucky for all of us, the free agent hot stove has heated up a little and there have been plenty of other happenings in the world of baseball. Below you will find a collection of links I have perused from the last week. I hope you enjoy them and have a wonderful weekend.
- Bert Blyleven finally got a Twitter account! He has said some interesting things so make sure you check him out and follow him accordingly.
- Seth Stohs wondered if the Twins should bring back Matt Capps.
- A Twins fan by the name of Dan Wade put together a great piece over at Sports Illustrated about PEDs and their impact on the game.
- The folks over at Knuckleballs blog wonder if the new CBA is going to be bad for the Twins.
- The Nationals might still be interested in Denard Span so it will be interesting to see how that situation plays out.
- The people over at Puckett's Pond want fans to get involved and push for Tony Oliva to get elected to the Hall of Fame.

Last week's Links-N-Thinks post had a very somber feel with the kidnapping of Wilson Ramos being at the center of everyone's attention. Here is a video of his first interview after being rescued.
