Some odds and ends to start the week off...

Carroll Rogers of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution hears the Royals "covet" Yunel Escobar. As O'Brien says, Mark Teahen alone would not likely be enough to acquire the Braves' shortstop.
Kiley McDaniel of Baseball Prospectus reports that the Tigers signed a pair of shortstops from Panama.
Almost 70% of Cleveland Plain Dealer readers don't think Eric Wedge should be around for the rest of the year.
Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle tells us how some well-placed calls by Ryan Sadowski's mother helped the Giants starter make the big leagues.
Remember that Freddy Sanchez's All-Star Game berth means he only needs 600 plate appearances for his $8MM option to vest in 2010. He needs just 271 more.
As Ben Bolch of the LA Times reports, Joe Beimel would return to the Dodgers if he could.
Scott Hairston had a tough departure from his Padres teammates last night, according to MLB.com's Corey Brock.
The D'Backs are making progress with first round pick Bobby Borchering and hope to sign him this month, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.
