1. Not one of Gordon's best , but still worth a look, if just for the nugget at the end giving us a taste of Bobby Valentine's egomania. Only in V's world is a club executive asking him his opinion of a single managerial move a "job interview".
2. The Herald and Tony Massarotti actually show up this weekend. Again, not earth-shattering journalism, but entertaining, and the juiciest piece, as in the Globe, is near the end, detailing a very funny prediction by The Sporting News.
3. Non-Boston, but Jack Curry of the New York Times does a nice job here on a story about Tuffy Rhodes in Japan.
4. Once again, the booby prize goes to my man Chass for a ridiculously uninformative column about the NL Central's pitching wars. No conviction, just a bunch of interviews and simplistic speculation. Even the article's title is amateur hour. A good question would be why I even bother with his stuff...

It should be noted that the Valentine story was reported earlier this week in the Times, along with speculation that he might someday succeed Torre in NY. (Valentine and Steinbrenner? There's a match made in tabloid heaven.)

One can only hope he follows Torre - that would be a great move...for the rest of the AL East.
