Edward Salcedo Rumors

Odds and Ends: Baldelli, Salcedo, Piazza, Rivera

Time for today's linkage.

• RotoAuthority looks for some fantasy baseball sleepers at second base.
• Rocco Baldelli has a rare muscle condition that does not allow his body to recover after a short workout.  He'll hit the DL but won't retire.  The Rays will likely decline his option but maybe they'll re-sign him at a lower price.
• The Indians are in the running for 16 year-old shortstop Edward Salcedo, but the Boras client remains unsigned.
• IGN has their own What Might've Been type series, and recently they took a look at the Mike Piazza trades of 1998.  Haven't heard much on Piazza these last few weeks.
• The Angels seem likely to keep Juan Rivera, as he could be their left fielder in '09 and '10.
• I'm been devouring The Worst Team Money Could Buy, a book by Bob Klapisch and John Harper chronicling the '92 Mets.  I am a bit too young to remember that team.  It's a hilarious look at that trainwreck, with all sorts of off-the-record quotes.  You really get a feel for what it's like following the Mets beat, too.
