This just might be the best thing ever! Via Danny Wild at MiLB.com, "Isotopes pay tribute to 'Breaking Bad': Heisenberg-esque tee a unique souvenir for Albuquerque fans".
- Via Chris Flick at True Blue Crew writes, "Is JP Howell targeted by the Nats?"
- Ryan Walton at Valley Bay News caught up with recent Dodger minor league signee Clint Robinson.
- Via Greg Zakwin at Yahoo, "Los Angeles Dodgers Easily Have Best Rotation in Baseball".
While there are plenty of rotations that can lay claim to a top-three ranking in the game, one group clearly stands above all others as easily the best in baseball: the staff of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

- Via Ken Gurnick at MLB.com, "New (Dodgers) third-base coach Bundy has paid his dues".
"For those of us who have been in the Minor Leagues a long time trying to get to the Major Leagues, with all the hard work you have to do in the Minors, and now to be rewarded, well, I feel like I earned it," Bundy said from Mexico, where he is into his third decade as a Winter League manager because "I'm trying to get better.

- This is for those interested in the upcoming 2014 Draft. Via Jim Callis at MLB.com, "Next year's Draft deeper, packed with pitchers".
"Last year was one of the weakest Drafts I can remember," a scouting director with a National League team said. "Last year was really weak in high school pitching, and this year there's some really good-looking high school pitchers. Last year was the weakest year I've ever seen in shortstops, and this year there are shortstops. It's better in almost everything."
