Quick Hits: Wilson, White Sox, Cubs, Fielder

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | September 15, 2011 at 4:01pm CDT

Links for Thursday, before the Rays visit the Red Sox for a four-game series that's critical to the American League Wild Card race…

  • Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker hears that Yu Darvish is undecided on whether it's the right time for him to join an MLB team. The Japanese right-hander could be available via the posting system this offseason.
  • C.J. Wilson, who will hit free agency this winter, likes pitching under pressure in September, T.R. Sullivan writes at MLB.com. The Rangers left-hander has lowered his ERA (3.01) and walk rate (2.9 BB/9) this year, setting a career-high in innings pitched (209) with an improved strikeout rate (8.2 K/9) and an All-Star berth.
  • Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports hears from someone close to White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen that there’s just a 10% chance the skipper will return to Chicago next year. Though Guillen is under contract in Chicago, he appears to be tiring of his current role and his relationship with GM Kenny Williams appears “unsalvageable,” Rosenthal reports.
  • There’s almost no chance that the Cubs will have their next GM in place by the end of the month, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. Morosi hears from one agent who expects the Cubs to try to get “the biggest name they can," and goes on to discuss some of the high-profile candidates who have been linked to the job.
  • Jon Heyman of SI.com suggests the Orioles, Rangers or Dodgers could sign Prince Fielder this offseason (Twitter link).

    The Dodgers signing Prince Fielder? Really? They would do best to focus on Matt Kemp, but then again this is Heyman…

    I say the Cubs get Cashman, Freidman, Beane, or Hahn.  I don’t know what other famous names they could consider.

    If Texas sign Fielder they won’t sign CJ, they wont re-sign Josh Hamilton, they can’t re-sign Kinsler or Cruz… Hmm…

    I can hardly wait for Billy Beane’s offer for Yu Darvish.
