Quick Hits: Angels, Padres, Francona, Indians, Red Sox

By Mike Axisa | September 29, 2012 at 9:39pm CDT

Right-hander Chris Young made his final start of the season this evening, throwing six innings of two-run ball against the Braves. ESPN New York's Adam Rubin notes (on Twitter) that the start cost the Mets $350K, as Young hit incentives for his 20th start ($200K) and 110th inning pitched ($150K). Here's the latest from around the league as Saturday turns into Sunday…

  • "Always difficult. Any market. Doesn't matter. Any year, any market … Whether we're going to be part of that, I can't tell you," said Angels GM Jerry Dipoto to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register when asked about acquiring rotation help. The team is considering declining their options for Dan Haren and Ervin Santana in an effort to sign Zack Greinke long-term.
  • MLB.com's Corey Brock speculates (on Twitter) that the Padres will use their available money this offseason on starting pitching. Fifteen different pitchers starting games for San Diego this year due to injuries.
  • Terry Pluto of The Cleveland Plain Dealer says the Indians should do whatever they can to bring Terry Francona on board as manager. Francona will interview for the position next week.
  • Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com believe that the Indians are in a no lose situation with two great managerial candidates. Interim manager Sandy Alomar Jr. will also get consideration for the job on the full-time basis.
  • The Red Sox are about to hire Eddie Bane as a special assignment scout, reports ESPN Boston's Gordon Edes. Bane was the Angels' scouting director when they drafted Mike Trout and Jered Weaver, among others. Edes says the Sox are expected to make one more hire as well.

    Clap for the Wolfman (Bane).. He was a terrible lotto pick himself, but he sure has done a good job with Anaheim in selecting others.

      Sounds familiar. a top prospect failed in the majors then goes into the scouting/gm field and has success.

    It doesn’t matter who the Indians hire if they keep bringing in the same kind of players-which they have done now three years running. Everyone swings from the left side, no one has much power, most of the pitchers throw sinkers and don’t strike anyone out. Every team is a carbon copy of the team before and they expect different results.

    They need new people in the front office-and they should start with a new GM and a new scouting director. The player evaluations have been abysmal. You don’t miss that many times with that many players like the Indians have if you have competent help in your front office.

    Is Bane gonna work for the Red Sox, generally, or specifically for Ben Cherington? Likewise, is Bane replacing someone on staff or has the team heretofore functioned without a special assignment scout? If yes, to the latter, why the need to hire a scout for special assignments? Without further explanation this hire doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

      Well, he threatened to “break them” just like he did Batman, and they didn’t want to argue.
