Odds & Ends: Jenks, Fielder, Burrell, Marlins

By Luke Adams 2 | May 28, 2010 at 9:41pm CDT

A few more links for Friday evening, as the Reds homer for the 17th straight game….

  • Bill Dwyre of the Los Angeles Times explains what it means to be "out of options" and takes a look at how it affects Brandon Wood's current situation.
  • Several teams have contacted the White Sox about Bobby Jenks, according to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times. Cowley doesn't categorize any of the discussions as serious, but notes that Jenks is "very available." Earlier in the week, we heard that the Phillies were scouting the Sox' struggling closer.
  • Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle explains in a tweet why he doesn't want to see the Giants attempt to acquire Prince Fielder.
  • Schulman also tweets that although no deal is official yet, Pat Burrell is "leaning heavily" toward becoming a Giant.
  • According to the Miami Herald's Fish Bytes blog, it'd make sense for the Marlins to pursue left-handed bullpen help later in the summer if they're still in contention. The piece names Will Ohman and Matt Thornton as possible targets.
  • Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer writes that the Indians are being patient with their roster for now, but changes could eventually be made.
  • Cuban minor-leaguer Amaury Sanit has been suspended 50 games for violating baseball's drug policy, tweets Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News. The right-hander had been pitching for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate.

    If the angels try and put wood through waviers which i doubt i hope he would slip far down to the yankees or for them to make a trade for him what do you think it would take?

      Probably McAllister or Nova, because I think (although I’m not positive) that Kazmir’s contract is up after next season and a close to MLB ready MOR pitcher would probably appeal to the Angels in a trade for Wood.

      He wouldn’t slip nearly down to the Yankees.

      Why in the world would the Yankees claim Wood when they have Rodriguez under contract at 3B through 2016?

        BECAUSE WOOD CAN PLAY 1ST SS & 3RD BEING ABLE TO GIVE A DAY OFF TO JETER AROD AND TEX SO ADDING WOOD WOULDNT BE SUCH A BAD IDEA

          Not typing with caps lock on wouldn’t be such a bad idea either

        Because i doubt Alex is going to play 160 games at third a year and wood could spot start at third and maybe he could play left just thinking here

          He needs to go somewhere where he’ll actually play every day. The Angels have never given him a full shot until this year, despite the dozen times he earned it. Going somewhere to be a sub is not the answer.

          aap212 already said it, but yeah, immediately throwing Wood into a reserve role is a tremendous waste of his potential. The Angels might as well be patient with him, because I have a feeling that once he gets a bit more comfortable, he’ll become a more than adequate 3B. It’d be disappointing for me, as a baseball fan, to see a guy with this kind of potential relegated to the bench at 25.

    Considering how Jenks has been pitching lately I doubt I’d miss him, however the return we could get for him would be quite low in his current state, thus I personally would rather see him stick around in the hopes we see a rebound to his peak performance, despite how unlikely that is.

    Even if it didn’t end up helping his performance, I’d love to see him slim down, it would at least show he’s trying to improve.

      At least he stopped drinking.

        Maybe he should go back to drinking. He walked fewer people then.

    If Mike Scioscia honestly does not understand options, that is unbelievably embarrassing.

    Prince Fielder is headed to the HOF with that body. The naysayers will be proven “right” when he is 36 years old and fading out of baseball, which +500 career HRs.
