Sunday notebooks

Various baseball-related things I found interesting -- or I thought you might -- while perusing the 'net today.

St. Petersburg Times: Regular weekly notebook says Rays manager Joe Maddon wants more out of catcher Dioner Navarro.

Boston Globe: Dmitri Young will try to be a positive influence on former Biscuit Elijah Dukes with the Nationals.

Los Angeles Times: A look at some off-beat bonuses written into players' contracts. Some stuff about the Rays, but I would have shared this one anyway.

Kansas City Star: How do baseball writers decide their Hall of Fame votes? This year's induction class will be announced Tuesday.

Houston Chronicle: Columnist Steve Campbell recommends a few excuses that Roger Clemens will hopefully avoid when dodging steroid accusations. I think you deserve a treat.
