Odds And Ends: Jeter, Uggla, Cubs, Hall

Links for Thursday morning... Derek Jeter, whose contract expires after next season, says he isn't thinking about his next deal or how long he'll keep playing, according to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News. Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel asks: Are the Marlins better off holding onto Dan Uggla after the season and paying him about $7MM in arbitration, or should they trade him? Cubs GM Jim Hendry tells Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times  that he takes resonsibility for his team's frustrating season.  Jeff Sackmann of the Hardball Times says Doug Melvin was justified in handing Bill Hall a long-term contract, even though it didn't work out for the Brewers.
