Quick Hits: Rockies, Dodgers, McDonald, Clippard

By Zachary Links | February 24, 2011 at 10:33pm CDT

Links for Thursday night..

  • While I wondered if the Braves could be a match for the Cardinals as they look for pitching, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports suggests that the Rockies could be a match.  A major league source told Rosenthal that the Cards will first explore internal options before looking out-of-house.
  • Commissioner Bud Selig has rejected a proposal under which FOX would have loaned about $200MM to Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, three people familiar with the talks told Bill Shaikin of the LA Times.
  • Ex-Giant Juan Uribe is happy to be aboard with the Dodgers, writes John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle.
  • Former Dodgers pitcher James McDonald is excited to turn over a new leaf with the Pirates, writes Evan Drellich of MLB.com.  McDonald was shipped to Pittsburgh along with Andrew Lambo for Octavio Dotel last season. 
  • Nationals reliever Tyler Clippard says that he will continue to be represented by agent Casey Close, who is leaving CAA Sports, writes MLB.com's Bill Ladson.
  • Brewers right-handers Justin James and Shaun Marcum were drafted by Toronto in the same year but took very different paths to wind up in Milwaukee, writes Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.  James claimed off waivers by the Brewers from the A's this offseason.

    Juan Uribe is happy because the Dodgers overpaid for a fat infielder.

      Dodgers outbid the giants by 1 million. Giants offered him a 3 year 20 million contract, while the Dodgers offered him a 3 year 21 million contract.

        So clearly the Dodgers “overpaid.”

            I’m not complaining. Not totally thrilled, but not complaining either. For some people when the Dodgers sign a player it was because they overpaid, and when they don’t, it was because they were too cheap.

        Wow, for real? I don’t understand how Pujols is only demanding his true value on the market and getting criticized by every multi-cellular organism that can type but Uribe who left the team that helped him re-emerge as a player for only one freaking million dollars (over 20) gets a free pass. Unbelievable.

    For LA “news,” we get a couple of fluff pieces about an ex-Dodger who now plays for the Pirates and the ex-Giant who now plays for the Dodgers, but no mention of the Dodger pitcher who just went under the knife. Maybe if it was a rumor about him contemplating his option for 2012 we’d have gotten three stories. Naaaah. It would still be LA.

    Way to go Bud. Pretty much a no-brainer that doing anything to allow Frank McLeveraged to get $200 million would not be a good thing. Now do what you need to do to get him the heck out of LA.

    The Rockies could use a new washing machine, if the Cardinals take Aaron Cook.

    I propose we give them Aaron Cook for Albert Pujols, straight up.

      Sounds like a deal. If the Rockies agree to throw in Tulo, Gonzalez, Jimenez, and $100M.

        Nah, we just need to expand the trade a little in a different direction. Aaron Cook and EY jr. for Pujols and Holliday. St. Louis eats Pujols’s and Holliday’s contracts. Trust me, this is going to be airtight.

    Too bad I wasn’t a awful looking women. Otherwise I would marry Paul Allen and then divorce him and claim that his stake in Microsoft actually belonged to me.

    “Cardinals Trade for Tim Hudson”

    St. Louis Cardinals made a trade to acquired Tim Hudson for future star OF Colby Rasmus. Rasmus hit .276 with 23 HR and 66 RBI. Hudson, (35) threw 228 IP with 17 wins and only 9 loses with 139Ks and posted a 2.83 ERA last year.

    Yes or No St. Louis?

      Braves fans trolling Cardinals fans is so easy, even Cardinals fans are doing it.

    The Cardinals might be intrigued by a couple of players the Rockies currently have, but what would the Cards give in return? I’m not really seeing the matchup from that side of a prospective trade.

      I agree, there’s not much to give back that the Rockies don’t have. Rasmus is a viable option, but I think many are expecting Seth Smith to have similar season to Colby’s 2009 season. Not an ideal comparison, but is bringing in Rasmus going to be that much of a sure-fire upgrade to justify giving up some pitching? I don’t think so…

    I’m thinking before midseason, the Cards move Carpenter to free up money for after this season (so they don’t have to just let him walk) in hopes they can get some decent value form him and get a couple last ditch efforts to resign Pujols.
