Odds & Ends: Smoltz, Pedro, Cardinals, Percival

Links for Monday...

• John Smoltz and Pedro Martinez will likely eventually sign with National League clubs, writes Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. He names the Cardinals, Phillies, Cubs, and Dodgers as potential players for the two veteran right-handers.
• Cardinals GM John Mozeliak tells MLB.com's Matthew Leach that his club is going to be patient about assessing their bullpen, and is not currently seeking right-handed relief help.
• Troy Percival is in Angels camp as a guest instructor, writes Mike DiGiovanna of the L.A. Times.  He has no plans to try another comeback.
• I named my undervalued hitters for fantasy baseball leagues over at RotoAuthority.
• Former A's and Padres exec Sandy Alderson has been tasked with revamping MLB's Dominican Republic office, reports ESPN's Jorge Arangure Jr.
• Indians third baseman Jhonny Peralta told Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports he'd like to remain in Cleveland beyond this year, though Morosi sees a good chance of a trade.  Peralta earns $4.6MM this year, and has a $7MM club option for 2011 with a $250K buyout.
• Joe Posnanski profiles Joakim Soria, suggesting the Royals should've tried him as a starter at some point.
• ESPN's Rob Neyer learned from Michael Lewis that Jonah Hill has replaced Demetri Martin as the actor who will play Paul DePodesta in Aaron Sorkin's Moneyball movie.  Brad Pitt is still slated to play Billy Beane.

Odds & Ends: Ruiz, Braves, Offenses, Yankees

Links for Thursday...

• ESPN's Jorge Arangure tweets that Jose Julio Ruiz has changed agents, which will likely complicate any negotiations. The Red Sox were reported hot on the Cuban defector's trail.
• Tim Marchman of SI.com ranks MLB's 30 general managers, from Andrew Friedman to Dayton Moore.
• Moore tells Doug Tucker of the AP that he's confident he'll continue to build the team's farm system. The Royals have tripled their budget in Latin America under Moore.
• Stephania Bell of ESPN.com explains the injury risks that come with Billy Wagner, Troy Glaus, Takashi Saito and Tim Hudson, four players the Braves signed or extended this offseason.
• I've ranked the American League offenses over at RotoAuthority, using CHONE projections and the Baseball Musings lineup analysis tool. 
• Jack Curry tweets that no one has called the Yankees yet about Chad Gaudin and Sergio Mitre, and GM Brian Cashman won't deal until late spring anyway.
• Milton Bradley told Tyler Kepner of the New York Times that "obviously, it was something with Chicago, not me."  Bradley says the Cubs tried to make him a player he's not, expecting 30 home runs.
• Cubs manager Lou Piniella said on ESPN's Waddle & Silvy show that he'll determine his future after the season.
