Odds and Ends: Choo, Inge, Lohse, Francona

By Tim Dierkes | February 25, 2008 at 9:42am CDT

Let’s round up some rumors and links.

  • Not only is Shin-Soo Choo out of options, but he’s recovering from Tommy John surgery and may have to join the South Korean military.
  • Brandon Inge sat out a demanding drill on Friday, causing Tom Gage to wonder if trade talks are ongoing.  Dave Dombrowski spoke on the topic recently, saying all the right things about Inge.
  • Kyle Lohse is not interested in a minor league deal or playing in another country.  He’s still waiting by the phone though.
  • Funny anecdote involving J.P. Ricciardi’s son.
  • Terry Francona was extended through 2011, with club options for ’12 and ’13.
  • Kenny Williams and Billy Beane: opposites attract.   Given  their strong relationship, perhaps the Sox could look to acquire Mark Ellis during the season if the current options fall through.
  • Wow – Scott Rolen would’ve accepted a trade to the Phillies.  The Phils discussed him internally but decided not to pursue it.
  • The Giants briefly considered Sean Casey, who is "really good at life" according to Aaron Boone.
