Odds & Ends: Anderson, Smoltz, White Sox, Ripken

By Zachary Links | April 17, 2010 at 9:22pm CDT

Links for Saturday..

  • R.J. Anderson at FanGraphs isn't quite sure why Brett Anderson (and his agent) would agree to the four year extension he signed, but he also notes that Oakland's side of the deal isn't exactly risk-free.
  • Baseball color analyst John Smoltz won't completely rule out a return to baseball, writes Chad Finn of the Boston Globe.  In March, Ken Rosenthal noted that the Phillies have shown strong interest in the soon-to-be 43-year-old as a possible mid-season addition.
  • Ozzie Guillen stood up for White Sox hitting coach Greg Walker, writes Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times.
  • Orioles owner Peter Angelos said that he would be happy to sit down and talk with Cal Ripken Jr. if he is interested in a position with the club, writes Buster Olney of ESPN.
  • Mets manager Jerry Manuel shot down rumors of a clubhouse rift, tweets David Lennon of Newsday.
  • Outfielder Fred Lewis is happy to be a member of the Blue Jays, according to Larry Millson and James Hall of MLB.com.  The Giants shipped the 29-year-old to Toronto earlier this week and will receive either cash or a player to be named later in return.

    Is Angelos making a political move to make himself look good?

    “Mets manager Jerry Manuel shot down rumors of a clubhouse rift”

    Did anyone expect him to confirm such rumors?

    I read the brett anderson contract analysis and I diidnt get the impression anyone questioned why brett woulld aree to such deal. In ffact I think it is pretty obvvious why any young player would like to take certain money over maybe money a3yr down the road.
