Odds and Ends: LaRoche, Bonds, Salazar

"The Dodgers' Andy LaRoche commented to XM Radio on the idea of a C.C. Sabathia acquisition. He doesn't seem to acknowledge that he could be part of such a deal."

...Silly Andy. I mean, I cant imagine too many situations where the Dodgers get CC without his being included ~ how does he not see that?

Salazar could be a good pickup for team like the Marlins or the Mariners. He provides some pop off the bench and plays decent OF. Nothing hurt by it.

I know this may sound silly, but why not Bonds back to SF, with the Giants as buyers coming up at the deadline? I have been one of the biggest Giant bashers, but with Barry Zito pitching better, Lincecum dominating the league, Cain and Sanchez throwing extremely well, and a terrible division, why not bring back Bonds, add one more impact bat somewhere, and see if they can't shock the world and steal the NL West? They have the rotation to give them a shot to win every night, and they are only 4 games out. Bring in Bonds and one more bat and who knows?

LaRoche. Bleh. If the Tribe goes Dodger offer rather than Brewer it will be because Kershaw or McDonald are on the table. LaRoche is a throw-in even though the Tribe needs a 3B.
