Links for Thursday, as we wait to see how much more damage Vladimir Guerrero will inflict upon the Angels tonight…
- Mark Prior's agent says that one club wants to sign the right-hander after his workout this week, tweets Tom Krasovic of AOL Fanhouse. Prior reportedly hit the magic number of 90 mph during his workout.
- John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer indicates (via Twitter) that extension talks for Joey Votto will wait until after the season.
- Joel Sherman of The New York Post tweets that the Yankees will not designate Chad Gaudin for assignment when they call up Dustin Moseley. The team has an empty spot on its 40-man roster, and is likely to place someone on the DL or option another reliever to Triple-A instead.
- Jim Hendry of the Cubs is the easiest general manager to make a deal with, according to a poll of GMs from around the league conducted by ESPN's Buster Olney.
- The sale of the Rangers is heading to a one-day auction that will be held on July 16th, reports Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News.
I’m going to be extremely mad when Greenberg/Ryan end up getting the Rangers and we’ll have pretty much wasted the last 6 months of our lives.
ESPN’s Buster Olney polled GM’s from around and league, and they voted that Cubs’ GM Jim Hendry was easiest to make a deal with.
Finally…hope!!
“Hello Jim? Tell you what: we got this guy Oliver Pérez [and you can have him!]…”
Get. Rid. Of. Chan. Ho. Park.
That is all.
“Hey Omar. Yeah, we got this fella that goes by Zambrano. Just your type of guy: overpaid, under-producing, but he’s fiery….”
Omar’s more likely to go for Victor Zambrano.
This is probably best for Votto. The guy is a hitting machine he has something like 38 consecutive games reaching base for the longest streak of the season. The guy does not need contract distractions. July 1st and I am happy to say the Reds are in 1st place. Woot Go Reds.
Where would Texas of been, had Ryan & Co. purchased this team a decade ago. Would he of been that dumb to throw $250 Mil. at A-Rod, thus morally bankrupting the team. lol
