Odds and Ends: Rule 5, Beltre, Schmidt, Bako

Stray links I've collected over the past few days...

• John Manuel and Jonathan Mayo get us ready for the Rule 5 draft.  Manuel has a second post on it here.
• Sarah Green looks at A.J. Burnett's possible commutes.
• LEN3 suggests the Twins might be part of Adrian Beltre's limited no-trade clause.
• K-Rod signing analysis from Dave Cameron, Jesse Spector, and Keith Law.  Also check out the usual solid analysis over at Ken Davidoff's blog.
• Law also takes on the Edwin Jackson, Ramon Hernandez, J.J. Putz, and C.C. Sabathia moves.
• The Red Sox are likely to non-tender Kevin Cash.  Josh Bard is one free agent on their radar.  Also, Tony Massarotti learned that the Red Sox are strongly opposed to opt-out clauses.
• UmpBump found some C.C. Sabathia rumors we missed on Monday.  Also, the Brewers' offer to C.C. had unique clauses and two club options.
• The Dodgers knew Jason Schmidt had a partial rotator cuff tear when they signed him.
• Rany Jazayerli on recent Royals rumors, reliever and otherwise.
• Bruce Miles says the Cubs have some interest in bringing Paul Bako back.
• Jason Davis, Raul Chavez, and R.A. Dickey became free agents.  Davis may be headed to Japan.
• Nick Piecoro says Junior Spivey is looking for a job.
• Much of the money saved from recent White Sox trades was repurposed for Dayan Viciedo.
