Odds and Ends: Vizquel, Saito, Burnett, K-Rod

By Tim Dierkes | July 14, 2008 at 2:12pm CDT

So many links, so little time.

  • Barry Bonds’ agent, Jeff Borris, says the prospects of his client playing this year look bleak.
  • The Tigers made their first Taiwan signing, adding outfielder Tang Chao-Ting.
  • Aside from Jim Bowden’s other problems, he’s having a hard time finding common ground with the Nationals’ top five draft picks.
  • Interesting post at NPB Tracker contrasting Masa Kobayashi with Yasuhiko Yabuta and Kazuo Fukumori.
  • The White Sox will have to choose between pitchers D.J. Carrasco and Adam Russell soon.
  • Troy E. Renck heard "simmering buzz" that Omar Vizquel could retire right now, but Vizquel debunked it.
  • 19 year-old Tigers starter Rick Porcello probably won’t see big league time this year, but 19 year-old Mets outfielder Fernando Martinez has a chance.
  • The Boston Globe’s Nick Cafardo notes that outfielder Brandon Moss is a top trade chip for the Red Sox, but they don’t want to deal him.  Also, check out Cafardo’s Q&A with Globe readers here.  All sorts of informed Red Sox hot stove speculation in there.  They’re looking at lefty relievers and shortstops.
  • Takashi Saito’s elbow injury is worrisome – I wonder if they will put in a call on a Jon Rauch type or just ride it out with Jonathan Broxton.  At least ten teams are interested in Rauch.
  • Ron Gardenhire’s wish list for the Twins: a lefty-mashing hitter and maybe bullpen help.
  • Should the Orioles consider signing A.J. Burnett this winter, if he reaches free agency?  They’ve flirted with him before.
  • Another available lefty reliever to add to the list: the Braves’ Will Ohman.
  • Kurt Streeter believes the Angels should offer K-Rod four years and $55MM.
  • Pure speculation – could the White Sox quietly enter the market for a starter?
  • The MLB Trade Rumors daily email is currently broken…sorry about that.  We’re working on it.
