Odds and Ends: Eaton, Dykstra, Lohse, Burnett

Let's round up some linkage.

• ESPN's Buster Olney wonders if Adam Everett would be a good fit for the Dodgers.
• Phillies pitcher Adam Eaton accepted a minor league assignment today.  It seems that J.A. Happ will replace him.
• Jim Callis of Baseball America thinks the only first-round pick who might not sign will be San Diego's Allan Dykstra.
• I did a Q&A with Mets Fans Forever.
• Cardinals GM John Mozeliak dismissed the idea of trading Kyle Lohse.  Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe believes the Cardinals have the best shot at acquiring A.J. Burnett.  But don't forget that interesting suggestion yesterday from John Perrotto: the Jays might offer Burnett an additional $2MM in '09 and '10 to entice him to stay.
• Marlins catcher Matt Treanor had a setback, increasing their need to acquire a backstop.
• Rays manager Joe Maddon says the chances of a trade are "50-50 at best."
• The D'Backs are still talking extension with Cy Young contender Dan Haren, who is signed cheaply through 2010.
• Blue Jays reliever Brian Tallet is out at least three weeks with a broken toe; bad timing for potential suitors like the Mets.
• I did the Drunk Jays Fans podcast last night.
