Odds and Ends: El Duque, Rays, Botts, Cruz

Today's linkage...

• RotoAuthority tries to decide what to do with the fourth pick in a fantasy draft.
• The rumor about the Royals moving to the NL seems unfounded.
• Sean McAdam says the Red Sox will keep an eye on the free agent pitching market, but don't intend to spend much.
• El Duque has all sorts of problems, which I won't go into.   Maybe he's just down on his luck,  but he indicated a 50/50 chance of this being his last season.  He'll earn $6.5MM, and PECOTA calls for a 4.08 ERA in 98 innings.
• DRays Bay talked to team owner Stu Sternberg.  Sternberg mentioned that he reads Rays Index, the blog of MLBTR contributor Cork Gaines.
• Evan Grant compares Rangers Jason Botts and Nelson Cruz, one of whom will not be with the team by Opening Day.  They are among many on our Out of Options - 2008 list, which is growing by the hour.
