Odds & Ends: Orioles, Beckett, Brewers, Giants

Saturday night linkage..

• The Orioles are in search of a lefty reliever, writes The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec.  The guy the O's really want is Will Ohman, as they extended him a minor league contract offer in late January.  Japanese lefty Hisanori Takahashi and Joe Beimel are also options for the club.
  
• Joe McDonald and Daniel Barbarisi of The Providence Journal take a look at the big decision Boston will face - whether or not to re-sign Josh Beckett.  If the BoSox choose not to retain the 29-year-old, they'll have to recognize that his replacement likely won't be found in free agency.
  
• Tom Haudricourt of the Journal Sentinel praises GM Doug Melvin for stocking up on hurlers this offseason.  Free agent pickups Randy Wolf and Doug Davis were brought aboard to help support Dave Bush, Jeff Suppan, Manny Parra, and Yovani Gallardo.
• Giants managing general partner Bill Neukom is not sure that the Giants' payroll will reach $100MM as has been originally reported, according to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle.  San Francisco's payroll was $82.6MM to start the 2009 season.
