SandHill.com | The Impact of Oracle-Sun
may 2009 by sogrady
couple of folks sent this to me, and it is indeed a nice writeup of the Sun/ORCL deal and its implications. i don't agree with all of it - among other issues, i think it's not realistic to imagine that we'll see Oracle trot out a MySQL replacement - but it's broad and well thought out.

i'd take Hughes over Ellsbury too - and actually hope the Yankees do, if the Mets don't - but i think this undervalues Ellsbury's on base skills, as he's never been below .360 as a pro, and that was in the AFL. still, good analysis.
