Big League Stew - MLB

A few juicy links to start your morning ... 

• Don Fehr won't get specific on how or why the boo-boo happened, but he tells our own Jeff Passan that the destruction of the 104-player steroid list "was going to be done quickly but in the ordinary course.” Our best guess for the snafu is that Fehr was waiting to find a good price on a heavy-duty paper shredder, but that the records were seized by the government before the Office Depot flier came out. Through a source, Passy has the actual details on how the process went off track. [Yahoo! Sports]

• Jose Offerman is getting sued for $4.8 million smackers for allegedly wielding a bat in an attack against two minor leaguers. [Over The Monster]

• Arguments for the Twins signing Joe Crede are always much more fun when they're presented High Fidelity top-5 list style. [Twins Geek]

• Another sign the economy sucks: The Dodgers and White Sox are 0-for-9 when it comes to selling main sponsorship spots in their new spring training facility. [Sons of Steve Garvey]

• Despite winning the World Series, the Phillies are only the fourth-best rated team on MLB '09: The Show. Check out the link for some sick game footage. [The 700 Level]

• Dreaming the impossible dream: Who would be on the Rockies' version of Mount Rushmore? What about for the Nats or Marlins? [Bugs & Cranks]

• Super-prospect Matt Wieters tops a list of six reasons why Orioles fans should be excited for the 2009 season, followed by five promotional night giveaways. [The Loss Column]

• Some folksy trio beats Sufjan Stevens to the punch by writing a song in honor of Kenesaw Mountain Landis. It's not really safe for work, let alone your ears, but here it is anyway. [Luol's Dong]

    I wouldn't be shocked if the MLBPA offices operated like Dunder-Mifflin's Scranton branch.

    Fehr asked for this by refusing to insure his players understood the risks involved. Rather than take the side of the majority of the players, he stood by the minority's side, the cheaters. He deserves to take the brunt of the blame for everyone of those who are now exposed and may never be voted into the HOF. Screw him.
