Odds and Ends: Bautista, Uehara, Pavano

I tried busting out my old Super Nintendo last night, to see if I am still the Mario Kart stud I once was.  The console didn't work right though, so I ordered something called the FC Twin.  It's a console that came out a few years ago when Nintendo's patent expired; it plays both NES and SNES games.  I'm excited!  On to the hot stove links.

• We'll be doing our usual live chat here today at 2pm CST.
• The A's don't anticipate any problems in signing top draft pick Jemile Weeks.  And the D'Backs are nearing a deal with their top choice, Daniel Schlereth.
• Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski is working to trade recently-designated reliever Denny Bautista.  He's optimistic.  There is a general tone of optimism in this entire odds and ends post, in fact.
• NPB Tracker has an in-depth look at Koji Uehara, who will finally get his wish of trying MLB in '09.
• Steven Goldman thinks it's time for the Yankees to trade Melky Cabrera, who seems a bit of a tweener.  Might be better to trade him amid a hot streak though.  At least that's what I do in fantasy baseball!
• Yankee whipping boy Carl Pavano could actually be around in August.
• MLB.com's Jim Molony appeared on their Whip Around program (the 6/23 link).  He mentioned that he doesn't expect the Brewers to make a major acquisition.
• Speaking of MLB.com, they've got a new Trade Talk blog up where various beat writers have weighed in.
