A call for links....

PrintIt's that time of the year again! Last year, I took a look at the jumbled mess of links on the left side of the page and said, yeesh, I should probably update those. And now, just one year later, I'm prepared to do something about it.
Do any of y'all have suggestions for me? There are things I've meant to put up for a while, like Joan Ryan's blog at http://sfgiants.mlblogs.com, and the general Bay Area sports of BayAreaSportsGuy.com.
Have you had a site going for a while that I haven't linked? Let me know. Are there other good team-specific blogs that I'm missing? Let me know. I'll collect all of the links, and I won't promise anything, but I should have a pretty nice holiday surprise in store....

I don’t know if you would put Awesomer’s site meets the criteria yet but I have really enjoyed it this off season. It’s A’s and Stats based. I figure if nothing else others can give it a peek if they have not already.
And Fangraphs. That site is just taking names and kicking arse on a whole ssale bases.

Maybe Cot’s unless knows a better contract tracking site?

I think it would be useful to have links to some of the useful threads, such as the FAQ threads in Natto’s sig:
There are probably other useful threads as well, but I can’t think of them right now. I’m sure others can.

The adoption thread might be considerred.

n00b question
How can I adopt a Giant?
by walkoff baltimore chop on Feb 14, 2009 5:15 PM PST up reply actions
For the time being, you can pretty much just call anyone that isn’t already adopted. I thought the plan was to do a draft sort of thing this offseason, but I’m not sure if that’s actually happening.

Well, then, I guess I call Jeremy Affeldt.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that the list linked above is incomplete.

I’ve never gotten around to adopting anyone – if he’s still free, I’ll grab Edwin Quirarte.

West Coast Bias is a pretty cool site that has a number of good links everyday. It links to this site once in a while.
It links to here whenever there is a new post

Are you a man of mystery, Grant?
I’m putting my free sports picking site, www.wazzel.com out there and while it is not directly related to the Giants, you can pick all the Giants baseball games there.
Now, why would you pick it? (no pun intended)
I cannot answer that right now, but I guarantee that there will be a legitimate reason in the near future. You can either take my word for it, or think I am BSing, but that’s just a chance you will have to take. I promise that if you do link to it, you will be vindicated with your choice eventually. You’ll thank me one day, ;)
"links on the left side of the page"
Huh? Where?

A friend and I just started a blog a little over a month ago, called Triples Alley. It’s probably not nearly as cool as the other sites you have links for, but we’re hoping it catches on eventually.
Proud adoptive parent of Tim Alderson.
Interesting stuff
BTW, are you triplesalley or are you the Gig?

How about the websites for the minor league affiliates?

Still-proud, adoptive mama of Notgardo Alfonzo, who's back from the 50-game purgatory. He promises never to do it again. I couldn't get him to promise to hit, though. We're working on that with bribes of M&Ms, kind of like potty training.
