Odds & Ends: D’Backs, Matsui, Ausmus, Peralta

By Luke Adams 2 | September 9, 2010 at 8:52pm CDT

Links for Thursday night, as the NFL season kicks off in New Orleans….

  • The favorites for the Diamondbacks' general manager opening appear to be Kevin Towers and Jerry Dipoto, with Logan White looming as a "dark-horse." Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic breaks down the three candidates.
  • Hideki Matsui wants to play somewhere in the majors next year, but he may not be in the Angels' plans, writes MLB.com's Evan Drellich.
  • In a chat with Rangers fans, Nolan Ryan says the team has "every intention" of bringing manager Ron Washington back next year (Dallas Morning News link).
  • Brad Ausmus tells Brian McTaggart of MLB.com that he'd be open to rejoining the Astros' organization after he retires. Ausmus said earlier this year that he expects this season to be his last.
  • Steve Kornacki of MLive.com thinks Jhonny Peralta's 2011 option could be a good investment for the Tigers, given how well the 28-year-old has played lately.
  • Fangraphs' Eno Sarris looks at a few contenders for the Mets' 2011 second base job.

    This may sound crazy, and completely un-Mets-like, but I think it would they’re going to look outside the organization for a 2B and find one they like. Maybe Orlando Hudson, but with this team, and the amount of years their best players are there for, Ruben Tejada might not be the immeadete answer. Maybe they will make a trade with a team like the Diamondbacks for Kelly Johnson…Brandon Moore and Bobby Parnell might get that done. Also, there might be some interest in Aaron Hill. I think he would be a good fit with the Mets. I expect Kirk Nieuwenhuis’ name to come up in such a trade proposal.

      I like the Orlando Hudson idea. They wouldn’t have to invest too many years or dollars into him, and he has shown that he is productive offensively and defensively despite a few stints on the DL. I’m not as big of a fan of trades since the Mets would have to give up young players. It wouldn’t be a big deal if they were just a piece or two from contention.

    Matsui was such a stud in the Bronx but he barely had protection in the Angels lineup, and of course had a bad midseason slump. I hope this guy finds a job with a contender, he was great to watch in NY.

        They are gonna be a contender. Or at least pretty soon. AL East is gonna be the toughest race anyone ever saw since baseball created 4-5 team divisions

    Jhonny Peralta seems like he should be older than 28.

      Maybe an Old timers day reunion, but not as an active player. When the Yankees first signed Matsui, I thought that it was more of a marketing move than a baseball decision, but after his first season, it was evident that he was the real thing. His time in NY was nothing short of magnificant. When not hurt, he played smart, sound baseball, everyday day. Always clutch, quiet, unassuming and classy. A ‘true Yankee’ in every sense of the word. Unfortunately, he’s gotten older and the knee injuries have taken their toll. The reason NY let him last year is because he cannot run anymore.That’s showing up on the basepaths and with his power numbers, the knees don’t give the him the support to drive the ball. His strike out numbers are not much different than that the past years, he can still put the bat on the ball, but without as much power. When he played in Japan and his years here before the injuries, he played everyday. That is catching up with him now. I hope someone will pick him up because he can still help some good team that contends, but it won’t be the Yankees. Good Luck Matsui San!!

    Peralta is a great fit in Detroit. He’s got class, talent and is relatively young. Plus you give him an offseason working with the organization ad he could be back to his old ways batting .290 with some decent power. With all of dombrowski’s monopoly money he get to play with peralta should be a no brainer unless you can get Reyes locked into a long term deal.

        He could be if the mets don’t pick up the option on his contract. I am sure they will but if not then reyes would hit the market.

    Maybe Nolan Ryan is worried that if he doesn’t bring Ron Washington back he’ll go on a massive coke binge and OD.

    Sayonara, Hideki. Just didn’t work out for him in Anaheim. Hope he finds another team…maybe the Mariners. His mid-season slumps are a perfect fit in Seattle.
