Quick Hits: White Sox, Rangers, Kazmir, Rockies

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | August 24, 2011 at 10:20pm CDT

MLBTR extends condolences to the family and friends of former Major League pitcher and executive Mike Flanagan, who was died at age 59, according to the Orioles. Flanagan, the 1979 AL Cy Young Award winner, was the Orioles' GM from 2002-07 and later became a broadcaster for the club. Here are this evening’s links…

  • Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com wonders if the White Sox could still sell. Now 63-64, Chicago trails Detroit by 6.5 games in the AL Central.
  • Rangers starter C.J. Wilson told T.R. Sullivan and Louie Horvath of MLB.com that now is not the time to look ahead to the offseason, when he'll hit free agency and be in position to sign a lucrative contract. MLBTR’s Tim Dierkes suggested yesterday that Wilson could obtain a $100MM deal. 
  • Evan Rich of the Cornell Daily Sun interviewed Cornell graduate Jon Daniels about his current role as Rangers GM and how he got there. 
  • Scott Kazmir intends to pitch in winter ball, according to ESPN.com’s Buster Olney (on Twitter). 
  • The Rockies won't acquire Wandy Rodriguez, but they will continue to look for pitching, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post (on Twitter).

    No way in hell should CJ Wilson even sniff 100 million.  Hes been decent but I would not give him a 7 year deal, nor 20 million a year.  Id be ok signing him 3 years 45 million with an option for a 4th and 5th year based on performance.

      Come on, he’s 30 years old, and he’s outshined by all the other great pitchers in the AL West. Texas needs this guy back, and New York needs a starting pitcher. Someone will sign him to a deal worth 100MM. Why? His FIP is 3.07. His BB/9 is 3.03 this year. Last year it was 4.10. His K/9 rate is also up. This year it is 8.10/9, last year it was 7.50. His HR/9 is low as usual. His WAR is 4.8, and he’s still got a good 5-7 starts left. According to Fangraphs, he’s been worth 21.6MM this year. Again, with teams looking for starting pitching and regardless of whether C.C. opts out or not (he’s staying in New York either way), he’s going to be the most pursued in a thin market of starting pitching. There is no one hitting FA in 2012 that is a pitcher of C.J. Wilson’s caliber. Mark Buehrle is coming back to the White Sox, Bedard isn’t really that good, Kuroda is old, and I don’t know if many pitchers are willing to pay 20 million a year for Wainwright coming off Tommy John surgery.

      supply and demand baby. once sabathia re-signs, c.j. stands alone. and way more than one club with money needs a top starter – which, make no mistake, he is

    Wilson is good, but there is no way in hell he is 100 million good!  He’s not an ace, he should get #2 money unless you account for his straightedginess…then he’s worth 100 million I guess

      some serious underrating of wilson in this thread. his numbers the last two years are as good as most of the AL aces. then you factor in the ballpark he pitches in, and they’re even better

      FIP- (adjusted for park and league), last two years:

      verlander 69
      weaver 72
      hernandez 78
      wilson 79
      lester 81

      and for you ERA enthusiasts, ERA-:

      weaver 63
      verlander 69
      hernandez 71
      sabathia 74
      lester 76
      wilson 77
      price 79

      boom. pay up

    As a Rangers fan, I’d hate to see him go.  I DO in fact think he’ll get 100M since he’s the best FA pitcher in a weak class (not counting CC).  I can see a team moneywhipping him like the Nationals did with Werth.

    If the Yankees have a lousy playoffs.  I expect them to extend CC and sign CJ.

      I was reading on Yahoo today that Flanagan commited suicide and was having financial struggles.  He was one of my favorite pitchers growing up.
