Quick Hits: Buchholz, Duaner Sanchez, Royals

By Tim Dierkes | April 11, 2011 at 2:00pm CDT

Links for Monday, as Angels number two prospect Tyler Chatwood prepares for his big league debut against the first place Indians…

  • The Red Sox were non-negotiable on getting two club options on Clay Buchholz's contract, reports Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald.  Buchholz explained, "If it was me and I didn’t have a wife and a kid that I had to take care of, it might have been a decision that we would have thought about a little bit more."
  • Teams are locking up their best players earlier and placing increased emphasis on club options, writes Dave Cameron of FanGraphs, and the result may be that "the best players in the game are going to be significantly underpaid during their primes," while the free agent market could become even more inflated.
  • Reliever Duaner Sanchez signed with the Long Island Ducks, the team announced.  Sanchez hasn't pitched in the Majors since May of '09, his career derailed by a July '06 taxi cab accident.  His Ducks teammates include Ruddy Lugo, J.R. House, Lew Ford, and John Rodriguez.
  • Sam Mellinger of the Kansas City Star writes about how Royals owner David Glass changed his tightfisted ways upon hiring Dayton Moore as GM about five years ago.  Glass won't rule out keeping his talented wave of top prospects together on long-term deals "regardless of who their agent is."
  • Baseball America links: Conor Glassey chatted with potential top draft pick Anthony Rendon, while J.J. Cooper lists the youngest players in every league.
  • Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports has details on the iPads Carl Crawford's agent Brian Peters distributed as a promotional tool early in the outfielder's free agency.  Though GM Theo Epstein said the iPad didn't change his evaluation of Crawford, he was compelled to return the favor with some Red Sox Beats By Dre headphones.  First Dr. Dre mention in MLBTR history?

    and John Rodriguez … 300 hitter, 811 career OPS … I never understood why he couldn’t be a bat on somebody’s bench.

    I think that the mandatory years of team control before free agency will have to be reduce from six to four and Super Two status would have to be transformed into “Super One”. That way baseball’s best players will be getting big payoffs earlier in their career and will hit free agency while still young, and older players will start receiving less money for their twilight years.

          Nope, just a general “I can’t believe you made that terrible joke booooo.” If anything, it’s more of a Statler and Waldorf.

    I know this really has little to do with anything, but I have some Beats by Dr. Dre and they’re freakin’ awesome.
