Can Braves win a game without Chipper Jones? | Jeff Schultz - AJC - The issue is whether the Braves are too dependent on one player to be successful. They’ve now played 47 games. They’re 21-8 when Jones has started or made at least one plate appearance and 5-13 when he hasn’t played at all. Discounting late-game appearances, the Braves are 19-5 (.792) when Jones starts and 7-16 (.304) when he doesn’t. A winning percentage drop-off without Jones would be expected. Just not 488 points.

Yankees aren't for sale, but they'd draw nearly $4B – USATODAY.com - "All the Yankees assets together (including the YES Network), you'd be starting mid-$3 billion, approaching $4 billion," says Marc Ganis, president of the SportsCorp consulting firm. Ganis, who has done consulting work with Major League Baseball, says any notion the Steinbrenners are looking to sell "is absolutely, patently false." But everything has a price. What offer might pique the Steinbrenners' interest? A major league official familiar with franchise valuations told USA TODAY Sports that if Steinbrenner were offered $4 billion, he'd have to take it, though the price could vary based on economic conditions.
Apple CEO Tim Cook turns DOWN $75 million in dividend income | Mail Online - In January, Apple's board granted him 1 million restricted stock units (RSUs) for running the company during Jobs' medical leaves and as a retention tool. Half of the stock won't be redeemable until 2016 and the rest won't be redeemable until 2021. Over that time the value of the shares could change dramatically. Despite why the CEO may have declined the $75 million fortune being left without comment by Apple, it could be a figure the ranked world's 58th most powerful person according to Forbes may just not need, as currently fathomed by some. Since Mr Cook's rise to CEO, Apple's market value has increased approximately $140 billion, according to Fortune Magazine.
