- Masahiro Tanaka is considered the top Japanese ballplayer expected to sign with a MLB team this winter, and many believe the Dodgers are in the hunt. Via a tweet from Bill Shaikin of the LA Times.
Just did interview with Japanese TV reporter who believes that Tanaka's top choices would be #Dodgers or #Yankees. Too soon to say for sure.

- Ron Cervenka at Think Blue LA wonders, "Where does Chris Capuano go from here?"
- Baseball America names Yasiel Puig and Hyun-Jin Ryu to their 2013 All-Rookie Team.
- This is excellent. Via Craig Calcaterra at Hardball Talk, "The obstruction play provides a glimpse of the essence of baseball".
And what is baseball? A decidedly 19th century construct shaped by all manner of rules and conventions. A construct In which, unlike its 19th century contemporaries such as boxing, weightlifting or horse racing, physical prowess is nowhere as nearly close to everything. Rather, it’s about physical prowess being channeled alongside a set of ground rules and formalities that require the mind and discipline to work hand-in-hand with the body and its fast-twitch muscles. It’s a pursuit in which force being applied via instinct rather than calculation is almost always punished rather than rewarded.
- Via Mark Townsend at Big League Stew writes about the, "Dancing Royals fan featured in spoof baseball ad on 'Tonight Show'".
