Odds & Ends: Mets, Orioles, Cliff Lee

By Tim Dierkes | June 9, 2010 at 5:21pm CDT

Links for Wednesday, as the Pirates' Brad Lincoln hopes to capture just a small slice of Stephen Strasburg's success in his MLB debut…

  • Joseph Pawlikowski of River Ave. Blues is skeptical about today's rumors connecting the Yankees to Cliff Lee. Pawlikowski expects the Yanks to add complementary players this summer, rather than big names.
  • Brewers catching prospect Angel Salome has requested a move to the outfield, reports Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
  • The Mets appear interested in Kevin Millwood, Jeremy Guthrie, and Jake Westbrook, writes MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone. 
  • Vladimir Guerrero, Troy Glaus, and Jon Garland head up Jon Heyman's list of the top free agent bargains for SI.com.
  • 39th overall pick Anthony Ranaudo chatted with WEEI's Alex Speier, explaining that the plan is for him to pitch in the Cape Cod League and then begin negotiations with the Red Sox.
  • Cliff Lee would prefer cooler temperatures than he'd find in Arlington if traded, reports ESPN's Richard Durrett, but the lefty knows it's out of his control.  Lee told Durrett he's not worrying about the trade deadline.
  • White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was disappointed to see the team draft his son Ozney way down in the 22nd round, reports MLB.com's Scott Merkin.
  • Southpaw reliever George Sherrill would like to remain with the Dodgers beyond 2010, reports Dylan Hernandez of the L.A. Times.  In my opinion, Sherrill will need to re-sign after being non-tendered for that to happen, much like Jonny Gomes did with the Reds.

    How do you say: “Shut up you whining meglomaniac” in Spanish?

      HA, agreed. He should be overjoyed that Ozney got drafted at all. Ozzie Sr.’s worn out his welcome, the goodwill from the World Series should be used up by next season.

      If you see him, try starting with “Tu mama es tan fea”…

        “Tu puta madre” wouldn’t be a bad call either.

    It would be good to see Bobby V back managing in MLB. Hope he gets the Orioles gig…or maybe he’d be available if the Rangers end up firing Wash.

      For his sake, I hope he ends up in Arlington or basically anywhere else before Baltimore.

        I’ll agree with ya here. Bobby v knows the game well and really should be at the helm of another team, but not saddled with rotten owner/GM combo’s like in Baltimore, Houston, KC and what the NYM currently have. a badly performing team is one thing, but totaly inept front office is something that Bobby v would never stand for and has gotten him in trouble in the past. Think he is smart enough to realize how poor the O’s leadership is and say “no” if an offer was forthcoming from there anyway.

          The O’s have an idiot owner, but this is a team that has drafted pretty well is it not? Once that young talent starts to mature, they will be more attractive to free agents.

        • johnsilver

          12 years ago

          it’s not so much the draft picks and nice amount of young talent the O’s have already at the MLB level and at AA/AAA nearly ready, but the amount of control that Bobby v will want. he will not tolerate meddling, recall his past experiences at the Mets even. Useless upper management is the worst thing to him and he may even want both titles (manager and GM) to lure him back after his last experience as manager in NY.

    I think the bigger issue here that everyone is overlooking is that Ozzie named his son Ozney.

      Seriously, what’s more narcissistic: naming your son after yourself or saying “I’m going to come as close as possible to naming my son after myself without giving him an actual name”?

        Ozzie’s name is really Oswaldo. From what I’ve heard, his sons are named the same. Those are just their shortened names.

    What would it take for the mets to get Guthrie?

      Why would they want him is a better question

        12 years ago

        because hes sportin a 3.7 era in a ban box in the AL east, if he goes to the mets, he could easily be a very good #3 pitcher in citi field and in the NL

        • GriffeyandSizemore

          12 years ago

          yeah he could be but he’s been so inconsistent the past few years i just wouldn’t trust him but the last 4 or 5 starts hes had hes pitching well before that not so much.

        • vtadave

          12 years ago

          Guthrie wasn’t good last year, but he’s had sub-4.00 ERAs three of the last four years (including 2010). Why WOULDN’T a team like the Mets want him as a #5 starter?

      • aap212

        12 years ago

        He’d easily be their third best starter, he’s eaten a whole lot of innings effectively in the AL East, and he wouldn’t command someone the Mets wouldn’t want to part with, like Mejia or Flores.

        I’m not just saying this because he’s an Oriole, but Guthrie is a very underrated pitcher. Aside from last year he has always posted a solid era, which looks even better considering a vast majority of his starts are against some of the top offenses in baseball. His biggest strength though is that he eats a lot of innings and will definitely save the bullpen. Plus he makes no where near as much as Westbrook or Millwood.

    Wait, he’s unhappy they drafted his kid or unhappy they didn’t take him in the first round?

    Jeez Heyman, if you’re going to do a list of best bargain FA’s and not include Felipe Lopez it shows you don’t do much research before you write

      Mickeyblue, meet Jon Heyman. You seem to have figured out most of what you need to know about him.

    Skeptical? The report is by George King, which means it’s almost certainly false.

    Ranaudo’s plan to pitch in the Cape league and then negotiate with the Sox could prove costly.
    If he tanks or gets hurt–he’s lost his chips.

    Hey Cliff, If you’re worried about hot temperatures, it never gets too hot here in Milwaukee. Talk to Jackie Z and set somethin up, M’s can have their pick of our roster….well Brauny may be off limits…
