Odds and Ends: El Duque, Tazawa, Ausmus
Links for Tuesday. Be sure to check back on Odds and Ends posts, as I update them throughout the day with minor links.
- The Jays may no longer have A.J. Burnett under contract, but they continued their claiming frenzy by adding pitcher Les Walrond.
- The A's re-hired Jason Giambi's strength coach. Does it mean anything?
- The Cardinals remain intrigued by the idea of bringing Edgar Renteria back.
- The Dodgers bought out catcher Gary Bennett for $50K; he's a free agent now.
- Mike Cameron thinks C.C. Sabathia has a good chance of re-signing with the Brewers. He says Sabathia could be a pioneer by taking less money to stay.
- Yahoo's Tim Brown says Orlando Hernandez is working out and intends to play next year. He did not pitch in the Majors at all this year due to foot injuries.
- Dylan Hernandez chatted with Scott Boras last week.
- The New York Daily News discusses Baseball Prospectus' Nate Silver, whose political website is immensely popular.
- Patrick Newman points out that Junichi Tazawa will not be the first Japanese amateur to sign with an MLB team.
- Buster Olney says Brad Ausmus wants to play in 2009 if it's close to his San Diego home. The Dodgers could be one possibility.

Yeah, or maybe Fernando Valenzuela, they're the same age.

El Duque in St. Louis for an incentives based contract would make a lot of sense.
Posted by: CubbyFan23 | November 04, 2008 at 12:31 PM
Orlando Hudson should be checking out the local AARP services.

"Orlando Hudson should be checking out the local AARP services."
OK. Why the hell did I say Orlando Hudson. I meant Orlando Hernandez, or El Duque.
Posted by: melonis rex | November 04, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Ausmus to the Padres makes more sense. Veteran catcher to mentor Hundley, plus...you know...it's San Diego.

why wouldn't el duque want to "pitch" for another season, its easy money
Posted by: 86 World Series Baby | November 04, 2008 at 01:08 PM
El Duque wants to pitch again next year. He and Vasquez could complete the Met-inos rotation.
Posted by: clarknaddison | November 04, 2008 at 02:33 PM
I know it usually comes down to money, but El Duque to Cleveland would be an outstanding fit.
Posted by: the lowercase zach is better | November 04, 2008 at 02:42 PM
El Duque is 50 and washed up, the only team that will take a chance on him would be the Met-inos for obvious reasons.
Posted by: clarknaddison | November 04, 2008 at 02:53 PM
You spelled Vazquez wrong.
Posted by: Not Joe Morgan | November 04, 2008 at 03:00 PM
Ausmus who couldn't hit at all at Minute Maid park, Now hitting at Petco Park or Dodger Stadium. The mendoza line might be his goal for the season.
Posted by: DrNo990 | November 04, 2008 at 03:30 PM
I don't know if Edgar is worth a 1st round draft pick, also I wouldn't be surprised if Mo takes interest in El Duque
Posted by: Cardsfan387 | November 04, 2008 at 06:35 PM
Why would the Dodgers pay for Varitek if they can get Ausmus? At this point they are basically the same player with Ausmus having the advantage of being in the NL his entire career while TEK wouldn't know the batters/pitchers as well.

I did not know Kazuhito Tandano was an adult film star o.0
The Giambi bit is interesting, that really wouldn't surprise me again if Beane would give a respectable salary.
