Odds and Ends: Rauch, Fielder, Braun, Garcia

By Tim Dierkes [April 4, 2008 at 4:10pm CST]

Some links for you to peruse...

We suggested on Wednesday that Jon Rauch makes sense for Detroit. That same day, the Washington Post's Barry Svrluga wrote that the Tigers "will watch Rauch very closely."
You have to appreciate Matt Morris' candor regarding his salary.
We learned on Saturday that the Brewers made offers to sluggers Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun. Today the team's owner said talks with both are ongoing. Other multiyear offers have been made, though the players are not known. Tom Haudricourt speculates on Corey Hart, Yovani Gallardo, J.J. Hardy, and Rickie Weeks.
Ken Rosenthal sees Freddy Garcia landing with the Mets later this summer. I'll stick with the opinion that he's a nonfactor this year.

Trade Rauch? I guess it would make sense to trade our Wookiie in a year that the Nats are unlikely to contend. Still, he is really popular around here.

Unrelated, but MY GOD Ian Kennedy is the SLOWEST pitcher ever. He's worse than Trachsel.

I'll stick with you and say that Freddy Garcia is a non-factor this year. Surely the Mets can do better than that. I'd rather have a spotty El Duque, a better-late-than-never Pedro once he's recovered, or Niese coming up early from New Orleans.

Personally, I think Garcia is shot, and he's just fishing for one last deal.

Ian Kennedy's career ERA just went from 1.89 to 4.22

And his ERA is now 23.14
