Odds And Ends: Duncan, Mather, Huntington, Trachsel, Rusch

By Joe Pawlikowski [May 31, 2008 at 12:36pm CST]

A few notes to wrap up what I've come across this Saturday:

The Hardball Times has an interview with Pirates GM Neal Huntington. It's plenty long. He talks about the dynamics in dealing with his former team, the Cleveland Indians.
Steve Trachsel might be on his way out with the Orioles. Tough to argue against that move. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the O's are in the cellar, and might not climb out for the rest of 2008.
Chris Duncan down, Joe Mather up. Could Mather be the piece that rounds out a powerful outfield? Or could he be trade bait to bring back, say, a second baseman?
Glendon Rusch is back in the majors, having been recalled by the Rockies.

You think that the Braves could call about Duncan for LF this year and move to 1B if/when Tex leaves.

They could send over Johnson and Lillibridge if they got a ML SP in return.
Mayeb Lohse or Wellemeyer.

I doubt they sell low on Lillibridge like that. Lohse is on a one-year deal and Welly doesn't have the track record to suggest continued success. If the Cardinals could just get Johnson for Duncan and someone else they would be doing well for themselves. Johnson's bat at 2B is very valuable and would solve our problem there long-term.
