Odds & Ends: Nationals, Hudson, Brewers, Guzman

By Zachary Links | February 4, 2010 at 10:35pm CDT

Thursday night linkage..

  • With Hudson having agreed to a deal with the Twins, Jon Heyman of SI tweets that he anticipates the Nationals considering Adam Kennedy.
  • Jarrod Washburn is only considering two teams at present – the Twins and the Mariners.  Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports writes that if he doesn't receive an offer from either club or expand his list, the 35-year-old hurler may retire.
  • Orlando Hudson would be a great fit for the Twins, writes Rob Neyer of ESPN.  Neyer writes that the extra one or two wins that Hudson's addition represents are worth at least $3MM.  However, according to Buster Olney, Hudson has been offered a one-year pact worth $5MM.
  • Despite Travis Buck's reported dissatisfaction with the organization, A's GM Billy Beane is not looking to move the outfielder writes Mychael Urban of CSNBayArea.
  • Spurred by the recent pickups of Joe Inglett and Marco Estrada,  Adam McCalvy of MLB.com takes a look back at the Brewers' best waiver wire moves in recent years.  One of the best hidden gems was one of GM Doug Melvin's earliest acquisitions, Scott Podsednik.
  • The Orioles have signed Joel Guzman to a minor league deal, according to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun.  The 25-year-old, once one of baseball's top prospects, will not receive an invite to Spring Training.  In 108 games with the Nationals' Double-A affiliate last season, Guzman hit .281/.352/.447 with 12 HRs.

    Theres a chance that Billy Beane can at least get “something” for Travis Buck. The Yankees would have been interested before they got Randy Winn.

    I really don’t see how Inglett and Estrada will fit in but you have to take gambles right?

      Yeah, he never got the shot in the bigs he deserved. I don’t think he got more than 100 AB’s in any season in the bigs.

        He turned into a AAAA guy overnight, good power, poor plate discipline, so-so defense.

          He seems as if he’s improved his plate discipline, based off of his AA numbers from last year.

    And as a Dodger fan, I’d have to say he didn’t “deserve” any sort of shot in the big leagues. By all accounts, this was a guy who thought he was God’s gift to the game and to the Dodgers. A 6’4″ shortstop with tremendous raw power, it didn’t take him long to be moved off the position due to his lack of range and really, a lack of thinking he actually had to work at the game and stay in shape. So the tool were still there for him to be an above-average third baseman, but he simply expected his tools to get him to the big leagues.

    Hope he invested that then-record $2.25 million signing bonus wisely.

    Buck should stop crying lol. Can he blame beane for getting outfielders? Buck never became the player the A’s thought he was gonna be.
    I would still keep him in Triple AAA and I mean it doesnt mean he cant be traded and it doesnt mean he cant win a spot in the major league roster.
    He is gonna have to prove himself in spring training

    Make that “if [Washburn] doesn’t receive an offer from Seattle or expand his list, the 35-year-old hurler may retire.”

    I’d say with Hudson inking for $5m, and Smith saying they’re about tapped out on payroll, the Twins are officially out on Jarrod. And that’s a good thing…
