Odds & Ends: Nationals, Braves, Blue Jays

By Howard Megdal [October 29, 2009 at 4:45pm CST]

Some late-afternoon snacks for you...

The incomparable Thomas Boswell answers questions on a variety of subjects, including his belief that Jim Riggleman will return as manager of the Nationals next year. As Boswell puts it, "Has any manager in history ever not been retained after he improved a team's winning percentage by .125 and ended the season 7-0? Especially when the team likes him and he's born-raised in that town? I doubt it very much."
Rob Neyer discusses Atlanta's options, now that it appears they will bring Tim Hudson back.
And former Brave Mike Mordecai will be Toronto's roving minor league instructor, according to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro.

NEYER is clueless on what the braves need or don't need. 1B and a closer is the most pressing need atm. Resign Laroche, resign either Soriano/Gonzo and sign FA Cameron to play CF on 1 yr deal plus an team option. Deal KK/Lowe for 3b/MI prospects or for lowe's case would be a simple salary dump trade. No way I want Lee's contract to trade for Lowe's since we will have Heyward to be ready by June in 10'. Short term play of Cameron 1/6-8 type would improve greatly the OF defense and give the braves the payroll flexiblity to make additional move if needed at the Trading Deadline.

We will see
