Odds & Ends: DeRosa, Bruney, Cooper

By Tim Dierkes | May 28, 2009 at 8:44am CDT

Let's kick it off today with some odds and ends.

  • RotoAuthority discusses responding to lame trade offers in your fantasy league.
  • Reliever Mike MacDougal will join the Nationals tomorrow, according to MLB.com's Bill Ladson.  Who knows, he could be closing for them by next week.
  • Talking to Fred Mitchell of the Chicago Tribune, Cubs GM Jim Hendry defended the Mark DeRosa trade.  Here is my problem with it: it was a financially-motivated deal made by a big-market team, and did not bring back players who could help in 2009.
  • According to Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the White Sox acquired journeyman minor league infielder Anderson Machado from the Pirates for a player to be named later.
  • Padres exec Paul DePodesta explains the Jody Gerut for Tony Gwynn Jr. swap.  DePodesta's third bullet point, money, had to be the overriding factor given Gwynn's negligible value around the league.
  • Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle sees Bobby Crosby as perhaps a more pressing trade situation for the A's than Matt Holliday.
  • Dr. James Andrews found no structural damage in Brian Bruney's elbow, according to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News.  Given the uncertainty, though, a bullpen acquisition would still make sense.
  • It looks like the writing is on the wall for Astros manager Cecil Cooper.  Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle lists his offenses.
  • Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is skeptical the Cardinals will make a big move.
  • Kiley McDaniel of Baseball Prospectus agrees that the Pirates are the favorite for Dominican talent Miguel Angel Sano, and says the Rays, Cubs, A's, Blue Jays, Yankees, Rangers, and Twins are also after him.  It's speculated by McDaniel and elsewhere that the Pirates could budget less toward their fourth overall pick in June to compensate for Sano.  John Perrotto of Inside Pittsburgh Sports says they like Kyle Gibson, Aaron Crow, Bobby Borchering, and Wil Myers.  Tanner Scheppers did not give the Bucs permission to redraft him.
