Odds and Ends: Bonds, Crow, Odalis Perez

Links for Tuesday...

Barry Bonds is enjoying his freedom.
MLB.com has a list of all the potential free agents. The Dodgers lead with 14, while the Royals and Giants have only two.
Brewers GM Doug Melvin may get an extension soon.
Rich Harden will have a shoulder exam soon, which will inform the Cubs' decision on his $7MM option.
MLB.com's Matthew Leach sees the Cardinals letting starter Braden Looper leave, but attempting to re-sign infielder Felipe Lopez.
The Kansas City Star's Bill Reiter catches up with Aaron Crow, who is basically just chillin' right now. MLB.com's Dick Kaegel says the Royals like Crow, but he may not be around when they draft 12th in 2009.
Ken Rosenthal agrees that the Rays owe their success to much more than just top draft picks.
Pete McElroy notes that Odalis Perez would love to re-sign with the Nationals. Perez pitched 159.2 respectable innings but earned less than a million bucks.
Eddie Bajek has his final Elias rankings for NL relievers. Type As: Ryan Dempster, Russ Springer, Juan Cruz, Doug Brocail, Brian Fuentes, Kerry Wood, and Jason Isringhausen. Type Bs: Joe Beimel, Jeremy Affeldt, Brian Shouse, Bob Howry, David Weathers, Trevor Hoffman, Eric Gagne, and Brandon Lyon. If one of these players is offered arbitration, turns it down, and signs elsewhere, his old team gets one or two draft picks.
MLB.com's Spencer Fordin doesn't see the need for the Orioles to sign Jeremy Guthrie to a long-term deal this winter.

Tim,
Any chance the Cubs offer Howry arbitration?

wow... kinda unfair for dempster to be ranked as a reliever...

Interesting. I dont think any top 15 would sign Brocail or Springer- they arent worth losing the pick.
