Odds & Ends: Prior, Capps, Lee, Harper, Hart

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | July 12, 2010 at 11:04pm CDT

Another round of links for Monday, as Big Papi keeps on hitting…

  • The Orioles have some interest in Mark Prior and will continue to keep an eye on him, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN.com.
  • Matt Capps told MLB.com's Bill Ladson that he doesn't want the Nationals to trade him.
  • Cliff Lee told MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan that he hopes to negotiate a no-trade clause into the free agent deal he signs after the season. Lee reflected on "a whirlwind few days" with Larry Stone of the Seattle Times.
  • The Nationals have yet to discuss a pro contract with first overall pick Bryce Harper, according to MLB.com's Bill Ladson (via Twitter). The sides have until August 16th to work out a deal and it would be a surprise to see them agree much before then.
  • Corey Hart repeated to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that he wants to remain a Brewer, but told John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle that he has thought about becoming a Giant (Twitter link).
  • Dave Cameron of FanGraphs places Phillies prospect Domonic Brown 50th on his list of MLB players with the most trade value.

    Quasi-related but what I wouldn’t give for a stack of Boras’ player books. I don’t doubt Fielder’s ability to hit but I can’t imagine what other player comparisons Boras has made to drive up his price. Any guesses? Ryan Howard?

      Even Howard isn’t a comparison, since (as noted in the article) Howard did the work to eliminate the “fat guy” argument. He’s dropped over 40lbs in the last two offseasons.

      Someone will give Prince a big contract, but you KNOW there won’t be nearly as many bidders if he remains the carbon-copy of his father.

    Note that Prince Fielder was ranked #50 on last year’s trade value list…

    Will he be in the top 50 this year? If Adrian Gonzalez isn’t in it then Fielder shouldn’t be either…

      Adrian is worth 50 Fielders!!

        Exactly. Adrian plays great defense and his numbers are suppressed by the park he plays in.

        Adrian Gonzalez > Prince Fielder. It’s certainly not 50x better or anything close to that. They are close but Adrian is better.

    I generally dislike no-trade clauses, but Cliff Lee deserves one.

    Cliff Lee will be a 32-year old with a $90 million contract. I don’t think he’ll have to worry too much about getting traded again.

      You think thats what he’s gonna command. Boy, you might have 6-8 teams alone offering that kind of $$$.

      1. Yanks

      2. Mets

      3. Red Sox

      4. Cubbies (especially if they cut Z loose)

      5. Dodgers (Pending McCourts Divorce is finalized)

      6. Angels

      7. Rangers (I sure hope to god they have this ownership shit worked out by then)

      8. Seattle (Yes I said Seattle. They wouldn’t have any excuse to not offer him a deal)

        I picked an arbitrary number. The point gets more true if the number’s bigger.

    “The Orioles have some interest in Mark Prior and will continue to keep an eye on him, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN.com.”

    Ha! Ofcourse the Orioles have interest in Prior…he’s an ex Cub.

    Andy MacPhail…Zambrano and his pre game hitting post and once O’s prospect Fonteno are available, too. Just saying.

    I’m still rooting for Mark Prior to make it back. He’s been in rehab mode for four years now. I admire the dedication and effort. Man, he’s been out for a long time.

    Mark Pryor took the Padres for a million. At this point his arm is held on with duct tape and zip ties.

    I suggest the O’s sign him for 2 mil.

      I don’t feel sorry for the Padres, and Prior didn’t take him for anything. They signed him knowing he was unable to pitch and was rehabbing a shoulder injury. Then he got another one. They took a chance and lost.

        I never “feel sorry” for any team with mega millionaires on both sides.
        I fully expect to see Mark Pryor’s arm fall off someday.
        If the O’s want to encourage that spectacle – I encourage them.

          It really should take less than three tries for you to spell the man’s name correctly, especially considering it’s in the title.

    corey hart should think about being a giant. brian sabean has to really like him now after watching him in the 1st round of the home run derby.

      and what about the second round when he tanked and hit nothing? The HR derby is not a tool to gauge how well someone will hit in a real game situation… BP pitches rarely break 60MPH… and most pitchers can at least get it to 90MPH…

      Hopefully that means parting with more than just Jonathan Sanchez, which doesn’t really help the Brewers at all.

    Poor Cliff Lee. That has got to be a really stressful time in July.
