Odds & Ends: Astros, Royals, Abreu

Let's kick off the day with links...

• Yahoo's David Brown caught up with Pedro Martinez as part of his Answer Man series.
• Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle writes about the Astros' mistake of ignoring pitching.
• Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Chronicle notes that the Michael Bourn-Brad Lidge swap no longer looks lopsided.  The Astros sent Lidge and Eric Bruntlett to Philly for Bourn, Geoff Geary, and Mike Costanzo in November of 2007.
• Rany Jazayerli has an open letter to Royals owner David Glass regarding the Dayton Moore extension.
• Mike DiGiovanna of the L.A. Times writes about Bobby Abreu's influence on the Angels' other hitters.  In the article, Abreu says, "I definitely want to come back."
• Chuck Finder of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette discusses the legend of Garrett Jones.  The 28 year-old Rookie of the Year contender has crushed 18 home runs in 237 plate appearances.  What kind of numbers do you see him putting up next year?
• Joel Sherman of the New York Post feels that Johnny Damon makes more sense for the Yankees next year than Hideki Matsui.
