Odds and Ends: Manny, Pavano, Gonzalez

By Sarah Green [August 23, 2008 at 2:29pm CST]

Some Saturday mid-day linkage:

Hitoki Iwase was lit up in the Olympics, possibly dropping his stock as a prospect. Iwase was one of several Japanese players being scouted by Major League clubs in Beijing.
Luis Gonzalez reminisces about his trade to the Diamondbacks ten years ago.
Manny Ramirez is not interested in talking about those old Philadelphia rumors. I'm shocked, shocked.
J.D. Drew's back spasms are actually a herniated disk. According to Nick Cafardo, the Red Sox would love to add another outfielder, but can't seem to lay their hands on one. No offense to Jason Lane.
He's baaaa-aaaack: Free-agent-to-be Carl Pavano is starting tonight for the New York Yankees. Strike up the band and break out the rum punch.
Recently traded infielder Jose Bautista was at odds with Pirates manager John Russell.
Thomas Boswell talks about the possibility of Stephen Strasburg becoming a National next year.

Mark Kotsay cleared waivers. The Braves are done for 2008.

Any chance of a deal for something other than a bag of balls?

As an oriole Fan I am excited to go to the game and see Pavano tonight. I hope he's as good as usual!

If we get the Pavano of old.. he'll shut down the Orioles over, then find out tomorrow he has something wrong with another part of his body... causing him another 2 years on the shelf..

I wouldn't hope you see the old Pavano.. if you're an Orioles fan - the guy is actually a pretty good pitcher when healthy.

He'll probably have a real solid September just to lure in the next sucker.

Then again even the dumbest of GM's wouldn't dare sign him to more than a 1 year deal.

Sorry for the incoherent post, but are they tearing down Yankee Stadium completely, like what they're doing to Shea.
