Odds & Ends: Roberts, Holliday, Cashman

By Nat Boyle [September 28, 2008 at 12:16pm CST]

Some points of interest:

Brian Roberts, once a sure-fire bet to be dealt, is now a priority for the Orioles to resign according to Marc Carig of the Washington Post. The second baseman wants to play for a contender and says all the right things about wanting to stay with Baltimore. Roberts is 31 and will finish in the top 5 in average, doubles, stolen bases, and runs scored.
According to Troy E. Renck, Matt Holliday is not happy about the idea that his back injury might influence contract talks with Colorado. Renck quotes Holliday, "It's a stiff back, and it could get worse if I pushed it. Back stiffness and having surgery, that's a little different. It's just ridiculous," Holliday said. "If we were playing meaningful games, I would be in there."
George A. King III of the New York Post tells us Brian Cashman has informed Hal Steinbrenner he would like to return. An announcement could come as soon as tomorrow.

Holliday and Halladay are to different people. Silly mistake.

Roberts won't finish top 5 in Average. Unless those stats go by just 2nd Basemen.

If Orioles were to trade Roberts, what would they be looking to get for him? Anyone have ideas? My guess would be pitching or a shortstop.

If the Orioles want to keep Roberts, I don't think it will take much. He's solid defensively and while he can't carry an offense by any stretch of the imagination, he's a good solid bat to have around. I'd take him any day.

3 years/27 million
