Odds & Ends: Webb, Abreu, Indians

By Howard Megdal [October 16, 2009 at 1:06pm CST]

Here are some afternoon tidbits:

The Arizona Republic's Nick Piecoro, in his latest piece, reiterates that Brandon Webb only wants to discuss his 2010 option. The Diamondbacks are hoping to add a 2011 option to the deal. Webb, however, hopes a healthy 2010 will increase his 2011 value.
Dave Cameron at Fangraphs breaks down Bobby Abreu's value, and concludes that a two-year, $16MM offer from the Angels is a fair one.
Both Bobby Valentine and Clint Hurdle refused to comment on Cleveland's managerial search, adding to speculation that both are being considered for the job.
The Baltimore Sun's Peter Schmuck thinks that Bob Melvin should be Baltimore's next bench coach.

As the giants were ranked last in walks last year, we could really use a guy with abreus presence and ability to take randy winns spot in right field. I don't think we can afford him though.

Gigantor - I think the Giants are one of the only contending teams that could guarantee Abreu a starting spot in the outfield (unless he has a Brian Giles-like collapse, obviously) - even with the Angels, wouldn't he see a lot of time as DH? Therefore even if you give him the same offer of 2 yrs / $16 million, I think in the end he would seriously consider it.
