« A's Acquire Matt Holliday | Main | Phillies Sign Scott Eyre »

Odds and Ends: Burrell, Atkins, Ohmura

Links for Monday...

• Even after signing LaTroy Hawkins, the Astros would like to re-sign Doug Brocail.  They already chose a $250K buyout over his $3.25MM option.  Further complicating matters, Brocail is a Type A free agent.
• The Royals signed pitcher Brandon Duckworth and then outrighted him to Triple A.
• Yahoo's Jeff Passan ranks all the free agents, from C.C. Sabathia at #1 to Vance Wilson at #183.
• The Giants seem likely to hit the free agent market for a reliever.
• Pat Burrell hasn't heard from the Phillies yet.
• John Brattain battles Scott Boras on his Manny Ramirez claims.
• Aaron Gleeman suggests the Twins would be better off platooning Brian Buscher and Brendan Harris at third base than acquiring Garrett Atkins.
• Joe Posnanski continues to find the Royals' Mike Jacobs acquisition baffling.  Jacobs seems to be aiming for a .320 OBP.
• Free agent pitcher Kenshin Kawakami still hasn't decided whether to jump over to MLB.
• Outfielder Saburo Ohmura seems to have changed his mind - he's likely to remain in Japan.
