Quick Hits: Rockies, Pagan, Phillies

Links for Tuesday, as fans receive good news on Justin Morneau and concerning news on Carlos Beltran...

• Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post looks at the five-man battle to serve as Chris Iannetta's backup catcher for the Rockies.  My speculation: if the job goes to Matt Pagnozzi, perhaps Jose Morales and Chad Moeller would become available.
• Joel Sherman of the New York Post tries to determine whether Angel Pagan is a long-term solution for the Mets in center field.  Pagan, 29, is under team control through 2012 as an arbitration eligible player.
• The Phillies lost the payroll flexibility to acquire injury replacements earning more than the minimum by signing Cliff Lee, writes Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports in a notes column.
• Rosenthal offers more thoughts on the Orioles' direction in a Q&A with Matt Vensel of the Baltimore Sun.  Click here to read my review of the team's offseason.
• ESPN's Jerry Crasnick looks at the culture change new GM Kevin Towers has engineered for the Diamondbacks.
