Odds & Ends: Burrell, Diamondbacks, Oswalt

Some links to check out following Roy Halladay's perfect night..

• MLB.com's Cash Kruth passes along a quote from Giants' manager Bruce Bochy regarding the signing of Pat Burrell: "The thought of signing him to help us off the bench, give us a right-handed bat, some power, a good threat coming off the bench and help us late in games and maybe play against certain pitchers. Right now he needs some at-bats in the Minor Leagues, and we'll see where he's at in the next ten days or so."
• The Diamondbacks are leaning towards taking a pitcher with the 6th overall pick in next month's draft, according to MLB.com's Steve Gilbert. Scouting director Tom Allison has seen Ole Miss lefty Drew Pomeranz and Georgia Tech righty Deck McGuire in the last few days.
• The Astros and Roy Oswalt are in an uncertain state of limbo, writes Tyler Kepner of The New York times.
• The A's knew about Justin Duchscherer's hip troubles before signing him to a one-year deal this offseason, writes Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.  The righty will earn the base pay of $2MM but now will not have the opportunity to earn up to $3.5MM in incentives.
• Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle speculates as to why the Giants are calling up Buster Posey today.
• Roberto Alomar is looking for a front office job and would like for it to be with Toronto, writes MLB.com's James Hall.
