Odds & Ends: Cubs, Phillies, White Sox, Tigers, Lilly

By Zachary Links | July 24, 2010 at 9:11pm CDT

Links for Saturday evening..

  • The Cubs signed second-round selection Reggie Golden for a bonus of $720K, according to Jim Callis of Baseball America.  Golden, the 65th overall pick in the draft, received a bonus $157K more than MLB's recommendation for his draft position.
  • Scouts from the Astros, Tigers, Rays, Red Sox, and Pirates were all in attendance at Phillies-Rockies today, tweets Jayson Stark of ESPN.
  • During FOX's telecast of Mets-Dodgers, Ken Rosenthal reported that the Phillies have scratched Double-A starter J.C. Ramirez from his Sunday start, though he is not injured.  The move, he says, could be an indication that a trade is in the works.
  • White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen thinks clubs are asking for too much in trade talks, writes Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times.
  • Tigers manager Jim Leyland wants to hang on to his young talent unless the club can get something special in return, writes Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press.
  • Despite some recent reports to the contrary, Cubs officials told Carrie Muskat of MLB.com that there is nothing imminent regarding Ted Lilly.
  • The Mets are "near-certain" to non-tender John Maine this winter, according to Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com.  The right-hander underwent season-ending surgery on his right shoulder yesterday.
  • It's unlikely that the M's move Jason Vargas, a Seattle official told Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter).

    John Maine has pitched more than 140 innings in the majors once. It was three years ago. It was the last time he was healthy for a full season and he was good, not great. Time to stop waiting on him like he has a long track record, or a recent track record, or he’s got a Harden/Sheets upside. Cut bait.

    For the young players’ sake, I hope Detroit trades some of them. I’ve seen enough players have their potential wasted by Jim Leyland. The guy straight up doesn’t know how to manage.

    I wish Ozzie had tweeted that himself. He’s funny.

    Vargas would be a pretty nice starter for the Mets right now if Omar hadn’t thrown him in that genius Putz trade.

      Stupid comments function acting up. Don’t know how to delete one of the two comments, so I’ll replace this one with a joke:

      A racist, a homophobe, a misogynist, and an anti-semite walk into a bar. The bartender says, “What’ll it be, Mr. Gibson?”

      You know, I ding Omar more than anyone, but I gotta say, it was the right move at the time. Vargas won’t have an ERA under 3 long term. He’s been ludicrously lucky on balls in play, and has benefited a great deal from that ballpark and defense. He’s a solid starter, and the Mets could badly use that, and the trade worked out terribly, largely because of Putz getting injured, but Minaya’s process was correct for once. Cleveland is the only team that completely beefed that trade.

    It would be nice if someone the Phillies got for Lee has some value. Lets hope that another team likes JC Ramirez, though I thought he was a reliever, not a starter? Does anyone know if the Phillies are transitioning him to a starter?

      JC’s always been a starter.. some people think he may have to become a reliever but he’s started and been pretty solid outside of a few bad starts.

      Maybe Rube will trade Gillies, Ramirez and Aumont for Haren?

        Maybe Jerry DiPoto will die of laughter before he can get the full-time job.

      18 starts between high A and AA. 4.36 ERA. Decent strikeout/walk ratio. WHIP of 1.29. About to turn 22 in August. Legit back end of the rotation prospect, I’d say.

      He’s made significant strides this year as a starter. Hes been dominant as of late sitting at 94 mph all the way into the 8th inning.

    Werth had a solid game if they were scouting him. Better yet maybe Ibanez!! Worley looked good too in mop up work touching 95-96. Didn’t know he had that much in him. Should use him in the future instead of Baez.

      I’m pulling for the Red Sox to grab Werth. Throwing back Doubront+something should get it done.

      That would allow the Phillies to call up Domonic Brown and perhaps throw Doubront back to the Astros with something for Oswalt… or even better the D-backs.

        Phils arent’ trading Werth unless they get a ton of value. Doubront and something doesn’t qualify. They are contenders, only reason to deal Werth is if prospects coming back get them Haren.

        Doubront will not get it done. The Phillies are not in a position where they have to dump Werth. He’ll net them much better than that if they choose to deal him.

      Ramirez wasn’t pitching in Philadelphia today, why would they scout him there?

        Hopefully because the Pirates, in an effort to remain the NL’s most laughable team, are interested in Danys Baez.

    Phillies should just get a young pitcher for Werth….I doubt Wade Davis would be available, but Rays have a lot of young pitchers (both at the MLB and Minor League level)…instead of going for prospects to trade, why not go for another young pitcher so that they can trade Happ, Kendrick, Ramirez and Singleton for Haren?

      lmfao that deal is ridiculous

    i just don’t get the point in trading Happ for any starting pitcher.

    wouldn’t that just mean they would have to then go out and get yet another pitcher?
