Odds & Ends: Jenks, Polanco, Tate, Marquis

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | December 3, 2009 at 12:49pm CDT

Some links for Thursday…

  • John Manuel of Baseball America ranks all 30 MLB farm systems at SI.com. The Rangers, Rays and Giants top the list.
  • ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick lists nine potential free agent bargains. 
  • Keith Law, Dave Cameron and Tyler Hissey don't like the Placido Polanco deal from the Phillies' standpoint.
  • Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Pirates have tentative interest in Xavier Nady and Ron Villone, who are both Scott Boras clients.
  • Sam Borden of the Journal News wonders how many long-term contracts the Yanks can take on.
  • The Yankees get the sense that Andy Pettitte isn't done yet, according to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News.
  • They aren't expected to consider an extension for Joe Girardi this offseason.
  • Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports that the White Sox have begun preliminary talks with arbitration-eligible reliever Bobby Jenks.
  • Placido Polanco appears to be nearing a three-year deal with the Phillies, but the Astros have some interest in the Gold Glover, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
  • Curtis Granderson tells MLB.com's Jason Beck that he doesn't let the trade talk get to him.
  • The Rockies have tentative plans to meet with Rafael Betancourt's representatives this coming Monday, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post.
  • As Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports, Donavan Tate, the Padres' third overall selection in the June draft, was injured in an ATV accident. He broke his jaw, but should be ready for Spring Training.
  • Jason Marquis had a falling out with the Rockies, so Jon Heyman of SI.com suggests he isn't likely to accept the team's offer of arbitration.
  • MLB.com's Matthew Leach explains why long-term deals are becoming less frequent in MLB.
  • Juan Castro passed his physical, so his deal with the Phils is now offiicial, according to Andy Martino of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
