Odds and Ends: Tazawa, Young, Kouzmanoff

By Tim Dierkes | November 7, 2008 at 4:00pm CDT

Links for Friday.  As always, I’ll update this post with more stuff so refresh later if you’re interested.

  • Nick Piecoro suggests catcher Miguel Montero could be the D’Backs’ best trade chip.  Their needs will be second base and perhaps starting pitching.
  • The Marlins’ top priority is improving their defense.
  • Dave Cameron takes apart Scott Boras’ claim about Oliver Perez.  If more of these client books leak out, Boras is going to have to hire Cameron to keep him quiet.
  • White Sox GM Ken Williams talked about adding speed from within, though Williams is notoriously unpredictable.
  • Two 19 year-old Indian men named Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel will try out in front of Major League scouts today after winning the Million Dollar Arm contest.  The idea of the contest was to find raw talent among India’s huge population, kids who could hit 85mph consistently.  The Red Sox and Indians are among the clubs in attendance.
  • The Phillies may be interested in Junichi Tazawa, though Ruben Amaro’s "We know of him" comment isn’t exactly an endorsement.  The Indians, Yankees, and D’Backs will pass on Tazawa, who could command $7MM.
  • Also at NPB Tracker, a second Japanese club hopes to convince the Rangers to trade Nelson Cruz.  Doesn’t make much sense for Texas.
  • Amaro is figuring out his front office; Chuck LaMar has been promoted to assistant GM.
  • Chris De Luca’s sources close to Bud Selig say there’s "zero chance" Bud and the owners let Mark Cuban buy the Cubs.
  • Baseball America has the full list of 561 minor league free agents.  See anyone you like?
  • Former Dodgers GM Fred Claire looks at the notable waiver claims of the past few years.
  • Baseball Prospectus’ John Perrotto says the Twins are reportedly willing to trade Delmon Young to the Padres for Kevin Kouzmanoff.
