Odds And Ends: Glaus, Magglio, Halladay

By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 9, 2009 at 3:14pm CST]

More links for the afternoon... for those on Roy Halladay alert, he pitched well today, though he wasn't exactly lights-out.

Troy Glaus could begin rehabbing this weekend, according to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
ESPN.com's Rob Neyer says it will be "exceptionally difficult" for Magglio Ordonez to bat 166 more times if he remains in a platoon. If he bats 165 times or less, his $18MM option for 2010 doesn't vest.
Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News says there's almost no way the Yankees would agree to take on Vernon Wells' salary in a potential Roy Halladay deal.
Jay Jaffe of Baseball Prospectus writes on ESPN.com that the Phillies need Halladay now. The Rangers, Brewers, Angels and Cardinals fill out Jaffe's list of teams that need Doc most.
Diamond Leung reports that the Padres acquired minor league catcher Yamid Haad from the Mariners organization and assigned him to Triple A.
Lost and found: Bartolo Colon will start tonight for Triple A Charlotte, according to Mark Gonzales.

If I'm the Blue Jays I rape the Phillies farm system for Halladay. Th Angels have no one outside of Brandon Wood to offer.The Rangers have no money.The Cardinals have enough starting pitching. That leaves the Phillies and Brewers as the only realistic options. The Jays would want Hardy and Gamel right off the bat for Halladay.Other than those 2 who would they have to offer?How about Drabek,Donald,Mayberry and either Bastardo or Carrasco for Halladay???

Oh and Ricciardi needs to be fired ASAP. Why on earth did he give that contract to Wells?No one is going to trade for him!!!They are going to have to trade Rios instead.

10 air outs vs. 3 ground outs isn't pitching well for Halladay.

Junior what about Sean Rodriguez for the Angels?

Junior, The Cardinals do not have enough starting pitching...have you seen Wellemeyer and Brad Thompson lately? Lohse will be back eventually but theres no way Pineiro keeps pitching this out of his mind all season...

Cody,I would want more than that.

golfstar, a reunion of Halladay and Carpenter would be great but It ain't happening. Why trade prospects when you have a good 1-2 punch in Wainwright and Carp. The Cards need hitting not pitching.

Or Junior how about Erick Aybar, Hank Conger, Trevor Reckling, Jordan Walden, Sean O'Sullivan or even Jered Weaver of the Angels. Ever heard of them?

Yeah the Angels have produced stars for years now.. Lets count them out!

Angels Fan..

I would not deal Weaver.

The Angels have enough to get it done.

agreed junior, i was just stating that they dont have enough barring a lohse comeback...if derosa and glaus come back healthy after the break, i think the cards will just stand pat, swapping shumacker and derosa in LF and 2B

Has anyone actually seen Colon or do we just assume he was at Michael Jackson's funeral as Ozzie suggested?

"Has anyone actually seen Colon or do we just assume he was at Michael Jackson's funeral as Ozzie suggested?"

If he was in LA, he probably stopped by Vegas for a couple free buffets. If no one has seen him, I would suggest checking the fountain at the Bellagio.

In his 1st interview, he should be asked "how many McDonald's restaurants there are there between LA and Charlotte."
