Odds and Ends: Viciedo, Gibbons, Uribe, Danks
Today's link collection.
- The Yankees are in the mix for Cuban third baseman Dayan Viciedo, as are 13 other clubs.
- The Mets designated Abraham Nunez for assignment. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
- Hank Steinbrenner gets a monthly magazine column...this should be interesting.
- Jay Gibbons is begging for a minor league deal. Might make sense to join an independent league and prove himself. Additionally, Barry Bonds' agent has talked to all teams and can't get a bite at the minimum salary.
- Juan Uribe wants to stay with the White Sox. In the same article, John Danks sounds open to a long-term deal.
- Not rumor-related, but I found this Tom Verducci piece about Chipper and .400 interesting.
- Buster Olney says Freddy Garcia should be able to pitch a simulated game by month's end.

"Juan Uribe wants to stay with the White Sox"
...when a team doesnt want you and attempts to replace you in the lineup, yet still offers you millions of dollars and turns down trades just to keep you around... Well yeah, I would want to stick around too if I wasnt that good but had such an easy gravytrain to ride...

Uribe isn't long for the White Sox.
And "open to" doesn't do justice to that article as far as Danks goes. It seems like a long term deal is exactly what he wants.

Every couple of years someone is still hitting .400 in the middle of May and everyone comes out of the woodwork saying this is the year. Verducci is correct, it's not going to happen. There's only been a handful of players in the game who really could have stood a chance and Chipper isn't one of them.

NOBODY wants Barry at the minimum? Wow.

All thirty teams in baseball declined to offer Jay Gibbons even a minor league deal? The collusion is evident.

Yeah I think we can at least admit that Kenny Williams made a great signing with Alexei Ramirez. He appears to be their 2009 shortstop and so far he's been very good at second base this year. His contract was only $4.75M over 4 years, so he's a huge bargain. If the White Sox can sign Mark Ellis or Orlando Hudson, then they could be set in their infield for a while.

Or at least until Gordon Beckham is ready.
