Odds & Ends: Gordon, Anderson, Phillies, Park

By Tim Dierkes | November 17, 2010 at 3:00pm CDT

Links for Wednesday, the second day of the GM Meetings, as Ron Gardenhire and Bud Black take home Manager of the Year honors…

  • Red Sox GM Theo Epstein says he'd like to add starting pitching depth, tweets Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald.
  • The Rockies, Blue Jays, and Athletics are among the teams that have shown interest in Alex Gordon according to MLB.com's Dick Kaegel. "I surely don't want [a trade] to happen, but it's part of baseball and it could happen," said Gordon.
  • Bob Dutton of The Kansas City Star reports that outfielder turned pitcher Brian Anderson has opted for free agency after being designated for assignment by the Royals.
  • David Murphy of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports Phillies GM Ruben Amaro reiterated that he has not been given a firm payroll by ownership. Their payroll has increased steadily over the last several years, peaking at approximately $138MM last season.
  • The Pirates and reliever Chan Ho Park have mutual interest in a new contract, writes MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch, but Langosch believes the Bucs would only do a minor league deal.  Park posted a 3.49 ERA, 7.3 K/9, 2.2 BB/9, and 0.6 HR/9 for the Pirates this year after coming over from the Yankees.  Jeremy Bonderman is also on the Pirates' radar, reports Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
  • White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf confirmed to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times that the Sox asked the Marlins for a particular player as compensation for talking to manager Ozzie Guillen.  Reinsdorf told Wittenmyer the player was not Mike Stanton; the Sun-Times writer speculates it may have been Logan Morrison.
  • As you might expect, the Rays are not in a big rush to trade B.J. Upton given the loss of Carl Crawford, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.  Rosenthal feels the Rays will also be reluctant to trade a starting pitcher right now, but would be willing to part with shortstop Jason Bartlett.

    I think Jason Bartlett would be a good fit on the Padres. Maybe for Brandon Gomes?

    I can’t believe the Pirates won’t give Park a guaranteed deal. He was good for them, and do they really have so many options?

      I don’t believe it either.

      Park, Ledezma Resop, Meek, and Hanrahan is a pretty solid bullpen.

      And also, Neil, Please avoid Jeremy Bondermann at all costs!!! The man was useless last year and won’t be lighting, but crap, in a bottle!!

    When do we start considering Alex Gordon a bust?

      Alex Gordon still has tons of potential, he just needs to be given a chance. Look at his stats in 2007 and 2008.

    Also, any word on who is interested in the relief pitcher Jesse Crain? I know that the free agency pool among relievers is particularly strong, but I would love to see the Mets add Crain to the pen – even with their limited finances.

    You could start anything that Rosenthal writes about with “As you might expect…”

    “Red Sox GM Theo Epstein says he’d like to add starting pitching depth, tweets Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald.”

    What, seven starters (not counting Bowden and Miller) isn’t enough? He must be planning to trade somebody.

      Lester, Beckett, Buchholz, Lackey, Dice-K, Wakefield, Doubront, Bowden, Miller, Tazawa if healthy… no, they don’t, but depth diminishes very quickly.

      Remember their ‘lengendary depth’ of 2009? Lester, Beckett, Buchholz, Dice-K, Wakefield, Smoltz, Penny, Tazawa and Bowden… Buchholz was no sure thing, Dice-K sucked, Wakefield was average, Smoltz and Penny ended up on different teams, Tazawa got injured and Bowden was bad.

    I’d love to see Bartlett come back to Minnesota. He was the part of the Delmon trade that made me upset because he was an allstar in the waiting and we stole him from another team. Hopefully we can possibly make a swap of SS and they get Hardy and we get Bartlett.

    Jeremy Bonderman might be a cheap option for an NL team looking for an innings eater. If he is healthy he will usually take up 190+ innings, and in the NL, his ERA may make the innings he eats into a good number of quality starts.

    I also think Chan Ho Park is far from done. He should catch on somewhere and provide a year or two of decent middle relief.

      Depending on cost, I’d like to see Bonderman come to the Mets

    I honestly don’t believe anyone would trade Morrison or Stanton for Ozzie.
