« Rockies Reach Agreement With Embree | Main | Rafael Furcal Rumors: Thursday »
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.

Jr. Spiveys name makes me sick. The reason Scott Rolen went down hill, im and the Japanese/Tawainese(cant remember whcih he was) are the reason Rolen went from being an MVP canidate to average. Give Spivey the Bonds treatment!

Josh Bard to the Red Sox? They ran him out of town for Doug Mirabelli because he couldn't catch the knuckleball. Unless he learned how to catch it by now, that rumor makes no sense.

Eh to Bard... He had a solid campaign in 2007 with the Padres - but fizzled last year.
Red Sox fans must remember how they originally got Bard. The Sox got Coco Crisp, Bard and David Riske for Kelly Shoppach, Andy Marte, Mota, and a minor leaguer. So it originally looked like Bard was acquired ostensibly to offset Kelly Shoppach, who I thought would eventually take over for Varitek. Shoppach sure would be a great idea as the starting catcher in Boston right now eh?
Crisp is now Ramon Ramirez, Bard turned into Mirabelli, Riske turned into Javier Lopez
So that trade really turned into Boston giving up Kelly Shoppach for ultimately Javier Lopez and Ramon Ramirez, while both may be good bullpen additions - and I like their outlooks, but I'd rather have Shoppach securing the backstop for the near future.
By the way - check out a Rule 5 preview at http://www.mlbfreeagents.net/rule5gems.php
