I write this odds and ends post with two less wisdom teeth than I had yesterday. Looks like applesauce for dinner.
- Jon Heyman says the Dodgers and Tigers haven't talked lately, and doesn't see L.A. taking on Brandon Inge's $19.1MM. Aside from the standard Giants suggestion, Heyman puts on his speculation cap and wonders whether Inge could catch for Houston. What is J.R. Towles, chopped liver?
- This is questionable, but hey, it's a Friday. Hi5 is a popular social networking site in Central America. A reader sent me a link to this page, which may belong to future superstar kid shortstop/Boras client Edward Salcedo. The owner of the page slapped up a big ol' Indians logo over a month ago with the caption "my team." I have to reiterate that I don't know if this is really Salcedo's page. The Tribe said on Tuesday that Salcedo remained unsigned.
- The Orioles are observing 34 year-old journeyman reliever Bryan Corey.
- Joe Nathan, still chatting contract with the Twins. Kelly Thesier noted that it was the Twins reaching out recently. Nathan's agent will meet with them Tuesday.
- Jacob Jackson goes out on a limb and wonders if Justin Upton could be Oakland's first $100MM player.
- The new Phils-ville blog is up.
Justin Upton..."Oakland's" first $100MM player? Do you mean Arizona?

No, he meant the A's...

Is Heyman smokin crack? JR Towles is touted as the catcher of the future, Ausmus is backing him up, and they have a very good defensive catcher in Quintero who they might end up losing after spring training since he's out of options. Maybe John ought to due his homework a little before writing articles.
