Odds and Ends: Ankiel, Hoffman, Mussina

Linkage for Thursday...

• Viva El Birdos tries to put a price on Rick Ankiel, and decides now is the time to trade him.  Ankiel, a Scott Boras client, is eligible for free agency after the '09 season.
• Derrick Goold runs through the lefty reliever options for St. Louis on his blog.  It doesn't seem like Trevor Hoffman is on the Cardinals' radar.  Hoffman wants to remain a closer, so he won't be going to San Francisco either.
• Brian Cashman explains that $6MM for one year of Damaso Marte was too much, but $12MM over three years works.  Ken Davidoff still doesn't get it.
• Mike Mussina will make his decision early next week.
• Tony Massarotti runs through best and worst case scenarios for the Yankees and Red Sox.
• Jeff Zrebiec names ten possible free agent targets for the Orioles.
• Omar Minaya spilled the beans to WFAN's Mike Francesa.  He's not interested in Ben Sheets, but will make an offer to Pedro Martinez.
• The Twins seem more likely to make trades than sign free agents, according to Joe Christensen.
• Could Ted Turner buy back the Braves?
