Back for another Sunday links and coffee post, a look around the baseball world for you while you have that java on the 20-degree morning awaiting the football games.

• We noted Andre Dawson’s appearance here last week. The newly elected Hall of Famer will be in Lakewood on July 1st, 24 days before his induction in Cooperstown.
• Ben Hill of MiLB.com writes a story here on Dawson’s minor league experience (albeit short lived) here.
• Ben also has a cool idea: May I suggest that teams stage a series of autograph signings entitled “You Will Not Be Forgotten”? The guests of honor would be those who fell off the Hall of Fame ballot in their first year of eligbility (this year, that illustrious group consists of Andres Galarraga, Robin Ventura, Eliis Burks, Eric Karros, Kevin Appier, Pat Hentgen, David Segui, Mike Jackson, Ray Lankford, Shaun Reynolds, and Todd Zeile).
• What is a Hall of Fame appearance worth financially? Bill Madden answers.
• Matt Gelb in the Inquirer attempts to answer some pitching questions the Phillies still have to answer six weeks before pitchers and catchers.
• Brett Myers is now an Astro, re-united with Ed Wade.
• Jon Heyman has some thoughts on remaining free agents.
