Odds & Ends: Strasburg, Red Sox Non-Roster Invitees

Some Odds and Ends around the league:

• In a good piece by Chico Harlan of the Washington Post, Nats GM Jim Bowden says Stephen Strasburg is "as good a pitcher as we've seen in the draft in 10 or 15 years." He could be in the rotation as soon as September. Amusingly, Strasburg's mother described Scott Boras, who is advising the phenom, as a "Rottweiler."
• WEEI's Alex Speier lists the Red Sox 19 non-roster invitees. 13 of them have Major League experience. Brad Wilkerson is also expected to be present.
• David Lennon of Newsday.com reports that Omar Minaya has achieved his offseason goals. "The reality is that we've pretty much filled all our priorities," Minaya said. "I'm set to go with this team."
• Phil Rogers touches on the absence of interest in Frank Thomas who is not working out while he's out of camp. Rogers notes the Players Association needs to organize a spring training camp for out-of-work players. He suggests the White Sox abandoned Tucson complex.
