Odds & Ends: Zobrist, Pierzynski, Lowe, Padres

Links for Friday...

• Ben Zobrist said signing his extension was a "no-brainer," according to Marc Topkin of The St. Petersburg Times. 
• Jon Paul Morosi of FoxSports.com tweets that he doesn't see A.J. Pierzynski as a good fit for the Red Sox because he's not a good thrower. Pierzynski has thrown out just 24% of base stealers in his career. Earlier today we learned that the White Sox were gauging their catcher's value.
• Joel Sherman of The New York Post mentions that while the Oliver Perez signing hasn't worked out for the Mets, their second choice was Derek Lowe, who isn't looking all that hot either.
• The Padres have improved their team by building a speedy club better suited for their ballpark, says Scott Miller of CBSSports.com.
• Mike Rutsey of The Toronto Sun says the Blue Jays should replace the struggling Lyle Overbay with Brett Wallace.
• SI.com's Tom Verducci notes the increased diversity that has developed within the game in recent years. In the same piece, he notes that several clubs have increased their scouting of Yu Darvish in case his team decides to post him after the season.
