Odds & Ends: Washburn, A’s, Myers, Mattingly

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | July 22, 2010 at 2:54pm CDT

Links for Thursday, after somebody finally beat the Cardinals…

  • Agent Scott Boras told Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports that Jarrod Washburn has not yet decided whether to pitch in 2010.
  • ESPN.com's Buster Olney hears that rival teams expect the Royals to trade Kyle Farnsworth and the Pirates to trade Octavio Dotel (Twitter links).
  • The A’s agreed to sign two Venezuelan 16-year-olds, Argy Raga and Jesus Rivas, according to Ben Badler of Baseball America.
  • The Astros would need to be "overwhelmed" to move Brett Myers, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.
  • Dodgers hitting coach Don Mattingly definitely wants to manage in the major leagues, according to MLB.com's Evan Drellich.
  • The Padres, who are interested in Miguel Tejada, believe he could potentially play some outfield once David Eckstein returns, according to Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune. 
  • The Padres won't rush to acquire middle infield help until they know more about Eckstein's injury, according to MLB.com's Corey Brock. GM Jed Hoyer told Brock the club had already been looking for infield depth.
  • The Reds will discuss manager Dusty Baker's future this August, according to John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Baker's contract expires after the season.
  • At FanGraphs, Aaron Rowand and Carlos Lee make their way onto Dave Cameron's list of the MLB players with the least trade value.
  • Baseball America lists the 15 biggest bonuses ever handed out to international amateurs.

    If Mattingly wants to manage, he should take the job Torre vacates when it’s offered to him… again.

      I found that statement odd as well.

        Myers has 20 straight starts of 6 or more innings. If a team wants someone who can eat innings with a solid ERA (3.24 so far, but that will probably regress) they can’t do much better.

          You are missing the point or misinterpreting the point. 1) As you stated, Myers will probably regress. Sell high. 2) The Astros have to be ‘overwhelmed’ for Myers? He’s not an up and coming player or untouchable. The Astros should be dealing any vet that would bring back anything.

          Myers has said he likes it in Houston though. Why trade him for minor league filler when you could keep him another year and possibly see his stock rise (sure, he’ll regress, but if he stays healthy his stock will still rise) and potentially get a better return, or draft compensation for him.

          Because by the time the Astros have both payroll flexibility and a credible farm system, Myers’ prime will be in the distant past.

    As a Reds fan, I almost hope they start losing if it means Baker won’t be back in 2011.

      Well, I’m not a Reds fan and you never want your team to loose when you are in contention. But longterm, I completely understand your point.

      I’d Like to see someone from the Big Red machine manage the team. who do you think ,

      heck maybe even Barry Larking or Eric Davis from the 1990 team.

      The Rays bullpen has plenty of seeds.

    I think Astro fans have been so underwhelmed since 1986 that they should actually make a couple of moves. They need to shake it up in Houston, and get some young talent that wants to play. They should unload every one of their over paid players and get anything they can, while they can. “Overwhelmed for Brett Myers” ? WOW. Myers for two promising minor league players sounds about right. For that matter, since they are not a competing team again with their worn out, over paid roster, they should get anything they can for Oswalt, Lee & Myers. They should do it now.

    This can’t be serious about Tejada playing OF…..

    “Tejada would likely cost the Padres about a third of his $6 million contract for 2010 plus prospects, which could include pitchers Corey Luebke and/or Simon Castro.”

    Simon Castro will NOT go anywhere for anything less that what the PADRES believe is a premium player.

    Bad news for Reds fans I guess. If the team is going to discuss Dusty’s future in August that likely means and extension, no? I would guess though that the Reds are winning despite Dusty, not because of him. Imagine where they could be with someone competent at the helm.

    Just dont see Padres trading for Tejada. Offense would suffer in Petco and bad defense at 3B, let alone 2B or SS. He is not a great fit. Guess he would be better than Salazar at 2B, but at what price?

    You have to question the validity of anything Bill Center of the UT writes. They obviously do not employ fact checkers there. A rental of Tejada may be worth a PTBNL, but not much more. Maybe a Mike Baxter, Greg Burke or Nathan Culp. Certainly not Castro or Luebke.

    I find the top 15 list of international bonuses interesting. So often people use the Yanks as the scapegoat for the ills of baseball. Certainly, WITHOUT QUESTION we spend like no other when it comes to free agency. However, the Yanks have been blamed for the minor league draft and international free agency as well. Never have I seen any proof that shows a) Yanks have handed out ABSURB bonuses which are out of whack with what other teams have done b) this list shows that while the Yanks appear in the top 15 list twice, one was 11 years ago, and the other was for Gary Sanchez last year. Overall, 13 of the 15 players signed were all from the last 5 years with the Yanks being responsible for all but 1.

    The reason this is interesting is because most people blame big market teams for exorbinant bonuses to “steal” the best talent in the draft or in the international market. Of the 15 teams listed almost all of them are small-mid sized markets (Cincinnati, Twins, Denver, San Diego, Oakland, etc. And with regards to the draft the Yanks for instance have NEVER had a draft where they ranked in the top 5 in spending.

      “And with regards to the draft the Yanks for instance have NEVER had a draft where they ranked in the top 5 in spending.” Most likely because they have lower draft picks due to always making the playoffs.
