Quick Hits: Looper, Turpen, Moyer, CBA, Nationals

By Luke Adams 2 | March 13, 2011 at 10:47pm CDT

Our condolences go out to the friends and family of Mitchell Page, a former outfielder and hitting coach who passed away Saturday. Page was the runner-up to Eddie Murray in a close vote for AL Rookie of the Year in 1977 and, more recently, served as a hitting coach for the Cardinals and Nationals. Here are today's links:

  • According to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times, scouts watching the Cubs this weekend "seemed more interested in what [Braden] Looper’s status was than whether the fat-salaried [Carlos] Silva could be had." If things don't work out with Chicago, however, Looper would likely just return to his family.
  • One of the Yankees' Sunday roster moves involved returning Rule 5 pick Daniel Turpen to the Red Sox, as Chad Jennings of the Journal News notes.
  • Jamie Moyer still intends to attempt a comeback in 2012, writes Phil Sheridan of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Moyer, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, is realistic about the factors working against him: "I want to give this a chance and see what happens. If it doesn't work out, so be it."
  • CBA talks are ahead of schedule, with the second round of collective bargaining set to occur in the next few weeks, according to MLB.com's Barry M. Bloom.
  • Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post explains why the Nationals aren't considering releasing Nyjer Morgan.
  • In another article for the Post, Kilgore says the Nationals are having trouble evaluating Rule 5 pick Elvin Ramirez due to health issues.

    Brett Favre + Julio Franco = Jamie Moyer

      Moyer isn’t remotely like Favre. There is no media circus surrounding Moyer. Moyer has never retired and therefore has never “un-retired.” Moyer is just an old guy who likes to play baseball for a living; you have to respect that.

        Nah, no disrespect. I was more or less implying that he really doesn’t know when to call it a career.

        I think he should retire and focus his attention on coaching, as I believe he will be a fine coach. I have a hard time believing that anyone will sign a 50 year old pitcher coming off Tommy John surgery.

          “I have a hard time believing that anyone will sign a 50 year old pitcher coming off Tommy John surgery.”

          Hey, stranger things have happened. As I recall, the Phillies recently extended a 100 year old manager coming off dementia.

          Just kidding… but seriously, some of the things he says make me wonder if he’s still lucid.

    Why would the Nationals consider releasing Morgan? If it comes to him not being necessary, I would think someone would take him in trade. Wouldn’t get much, but more than a waiver claim fee.

      Jim Hendry likes head cases like this, so does Nationals GM Rizzo.. Then he is already with them so that cuts his relocation possibilities down by 50%. Minaya being out of a job saves Mets fans any chance of them having to endure him, since he was the type loco enough to pursue this head case.

        Read the article guys… the author isn’t suggesting they do, he’s answering what he seems to think is an idea that’s going around:

        “Several readers and commenters have wondered if Nyjer Morgan might meet a fate similar to Dukes. It’s not happening, and it wouldn’t make any sense if it did.”

          I did read it, but thanks for the heads up. Probably why few relocation chances for him and why he will get that last option he has burned on him.

    Gordon Wittenmyer couldn’t resist a Carlos Silva fat joke.

    Simply put, if Moyer can get batters out someone will sign him. And if he does it will not be with his bith certificate.
