Odds & Ends: Hudson, Hechavarria, Benson, Teahen

By Zachary Links | April 13, 2010 at 10:56pm CDT

Tuesday night linkage…

  • Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports weighed in on Orlando Hudson's assertion that racism plays a role in free agency.  Earlier today, Tim gave us his take on the matter.
  • The Blue Jays hope to see Adeiny Hechavarria reach Double-A by season's end, tweets Jordan Bastian of MLB.com.
  • Morgan Campbell of the Toronto Star spoke to Alexei Ramirez, who believes that "it won't be long" before we see Adeiny Hechavarria in the majors.  Ramirez watched Hechavarria's meteoric rise through the the ranks of Cuban baseball.
  • Kris Benson is a candidate to become the D-Backs' fifth starter, writes MLB.com's Steve Gilbert.  Arizona signed the 35-year-old to a minor league deal in mid-March.
  • Mark Teahen is still adjusting to his new club, writes Larry Millson of MLB.com.

    Benson is more done than a burrito put on HIGH for 10 minutes in the microwave.

    Not sure if this is more a testament to Benson or an indictment on the Diamondbacks. How can there not be one minor league arm worth a flier over this retread?

    What is the deal with Orlando hudson, he turns down a 4 year 29 million dollar deal with the Diamondbacks because he felt he was worth more. The Diamondbacks made him a nice offer he declined it, business as usual hudson has injurys the economy tanks Orlando made the wrong choice. As a Dodger Hudson was near the top in offensive catagorys at the all star break, he was on his way to reestablishing his market value then does a disappearing act with his bat the second half of the season. Topping that off with a loss of his speed, and a reduction of his range at second base. His hitting got so bad last september Torre benched him. Sorry Orlando it does not matter what color you are, what part of the world you come from anymore in baseball you are paid in line with what you bring to the table, not the pigmentation of your skin or ethnicity. You made a poor business descision in 2008 when you turned down the diamondbacks 29 million dollar offer feeling you were worth more. You made a business decision and it was the wrong one. Like all of us we have to live with our poor choices. Man up admit you made a poor choice and quit playing that old racisim card. No doubt you may have been the victim of racisim in your life but in the big leagues talent= dollars nothing else.
