Odds & Ends: Texeira, Orioles, Willis, Fielder, Giants

Links for Sunday, as the baseball world attempts to come to terms with Omar Infante's All-Star nod....

• Kyle Drabek, who was a part of the Roy Halladay deal, threw a no-hitter for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.  This was the first nine inning no-hitter in the history of Toronto's Double-A affiliate, writes Alex Raskin for MLB.com. 
• Rob Neyer of ESPN (via Twitter) says that he's usually hyper-critical of the Royals organization, but applauds their pickup of Kanekoa Texeira.  The Royals claimed the pitcher off of waivers from the M's early last month.
• Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter) suggests that Mike Lowell could be an option for the Phillies if he gets healthy.  He points out that the Phils went hard after him last time he was a free agent.
• The Orioles have made 46 personnel moves since Opening Day, writes Peter Schmuck of The Baltimore Sun.
• The Marlins had interest in Dontrelle Willis before he was dealt to Arizona, tweets Joe Frisaro of MLB.com.  Frisaro hears that the lefty will take his time before deciding his next move.
• Kyle Parker, the Rockies' first-round draft pick, visited Coors Field, according to MLB.com's Thomas Harding and Joey Nowak.  Colorado hopes to sign the Clemson quarterback, who has three years of football eligibility remaining.
• SI.com's Jon Heyman tweets that the Astros have been telling teams they're willing to absorb some salary in a potential Roy Oswalt trade. We heard a couple weeks ago that Houston was entertaining this possibility if it meant landing better prospects.
• Heyman and ESPN.com's Buster Olney (both Twitter links) place their bets on the Orioles' managerial search.
• Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says not to be surprised if the White Sox make a play for Prince Fielder.
• The Giants aren't expected to make a splash on the international free agent market, writes Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News.
• Domonic Brown deserves to be labeled "untouchable" by the Phillies, according to this piece at Philly.com.
