A lot of interesting stuff the last couple days, but I’m short on time so here’s a Joel Zumaya -fastball-esque link round-up:

Tiger Stuff

• Bonderman learns on job – 04/05/06 – The Detroit News: Jeremy Bonderman is going to work on listening to his body more. We also find out he pitched all last year with elbow soreness. Oh crap alert! Even if it’s feeling fine now, the accumulated stress of the last year is probably not a good thing.
• Gwynn-like stroke works for Shelton: Chris Shelton on hitting, and how he studies the masters including Tony Gwynn and Albert Pujols.
• Baseball Crank: 2006 AL Central EWSL Report: The baseball crank takes a look at the AL Central using Established Win Share Levels. The Tigers look like a 4th place team under this methodology.
• Sore leg is new territory for Jones – 04/05/06 – The Detroit News: Todd Jones doesn’t plan on shaving until he’s of the DL. Also, one time prospect Michael Woods has been relased, as has Reggie Taylor.

Other baseball stuff you might care about

• striketwo.net: Summarizing the latest news and discussions from 678 MLB blogs: This is a newish site that I’ve become a big fan of. It tracks discussions across the blogosphere. You can view the hottest topics, or keep up to date with what others are saying about your favorite players or teams.
• Ballbug : This is another tool that tracks discussions on the hottest topics in baseball. Ballbug just launched on Monday. If you’re familiar with memeorandum, this is the same thing but for baseball.
• ATM Reports: Lee Sinins who publishes the very popular Around the Majors newsletter is doing it via a blog now.
