Odds & Ends: Dye, Arguelles, Royals, Astros

Upset over seeing your Syracuse-topped bracket get ruined tonight?  Cheer up by reading these news items!

• MLB.com's Bill Ladson thinks the Nationals will make a move to bolster their current right-field platoon.  He thinks Jermaine Dye would help the team, though Washington denied any interest in the veteran last week.
• Noel Arguelles hasn't shown much in camp with Kansas City, but ESPN's Keith Law says it's part of the Royals' strategy to take it easy on the 20-year-old.
• Rany Jazayerli of the Rany On The Royals blog looks at how K.C. has only recently gotten back into the habit of drafting local prospects.  He also lists some of the local talent that the Royals didn't draft between 1988 and 2003, such as (sorry to mention it again, Royals fans) Albert Pujols.
• The Astros are putting a greater emphasis on foreign scouting, writes The Houston Chronicle's Richard Justice.
• Tracy Ringolsby of FOXSports.com lists 10 notable scouts who could be future general managers.
• The Cubs could wait until the trade deadline before getting their desired set-up man, says FOXSports.com's Jon Paul Morosi.
