Odds & Ends: Torre, Royals, Colome, Hawpe

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | August 18, 2010 at 1:09pm CDT

Links for Wednesday, a year to the day after the Rangers acquired Ivan Rodriguez…

  • Check back in at 2pm CDT and join our weekly chat.
  • After speaking to Dodgers manager Joe Torre about his future, Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports is starting to believe the skipper will retire after the season.
  • The Royals spent slightly under $6.7MM on this year’s draft, according to Daniel Paulling of the Kansas City Star.
  • The Rangers signed Jesus Colome, who has already been released by the Mariners and Dodgers this year. The transactions page for the Pacific Coast League says Texas assigned the righty to Triple A.
  • Yankees GM Brian Cashman told Marc Carig of the Star Ledger that he doesn't expect to make any trades this month.
  • Troy Renck of the Denver Post fully expects the Rockies to have parted ways with Brad Hawpe by the weekend (Twitter link).
  • Dan Bickley of the Arizona Republic likes what he sees from D'Backs interim GM Jerry Dipoto and interim manager Kirk Gibson.
  • The Pirates spent a franchise-record $11.9MM on this year’s draft, according to data obtained by Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
  • Count Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos among those who wouldn't mind moving the deadline to sign draft picks earlier in the summer. He told the FAN 590 that he would also prefer to see the deadline in the evening, rather than late at night.

    cashman doesn’t really need to make moves… just call up ivan nova.

      if pettitte doesn’t make it back for the post season. their rotation could prove to be a weakness after CC

        there’s no question. CC is the only horse… AJ has amazing stuff, but he also has a Jekyll & Hyde complex. Hughes will be in uncharted territory with his pitch count and Javy is dealing with a dead arm issue. Nova should be called up to give Javy rest, while Moseley fills in for Pettitte. That, in my opinion, is the best way for the Yankees to go about it.

          Aj burnette would be a good pitcher if every year was his contract year. As for CC, as good and reliable as he is, he could potentially be neutralized by Lee or Price in the playoffs. Putting more pressure on the rest of the rotation, which at this point lacks the depth that the other play off teams benefit from. but over time you learn to never disregard the yankees.

    The Way CC pitched the first two rounds of he playoffs last year? He can dust Price off his shoulder, Cliff Lee can match him but it’s only he World series that CC has some trouble with. Andy will be back by September so I’m not really worried about him. Hughes was horrible last postseason, and Javy will be moved to the bullpen if Girardi still wants to use that 3 starter rotation, but Idk about that because A.J. doesent pitch well on three days of rest. But actually I’m not oppossed to bringing up Nova just to see how he will do.

      I dont know about ‘dusting price off his shoulder’ both are good pitchers, and price has shown confidence and maturity well beyond his years so far. . Further more with the playoff schedule being more condensed this year the Yankees won’t be able to go to a 3 man rotation, so yes CC can match up against any ace, but the 2,3,and 4 starters will prove pivotal in escaping the east.

    Look for Brad Hawpe to be wearing a White Sox uniform soon.

      Maybe their pitching coach’s arm is tired from throwing batting practice and they need a backup.

    Torre retiring this season is the second best news of the Dodgers’ season. Right before Zach Lee.
