Quick Hits: Greinke, Nats, Indians, Liriano, Dodgers

By Zachary Links | July 20, 2012 at 10:50pm CDT

Recently it was reported that Zack Greinke received an extension offer from the Brewers in the neighborhood of $100MM and today the pitcher told Tom Haudricourt of the Journal-Sentinel and Adam McCalvy of MLB.com that the figure is “pretty accurate”.  However, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com says that there’s no indication that Greinke will sign quickly.  More from around baseball as Friday turns into Saturday..

  • The Nationals planned on designating Xavier Nady for assignment if they came through tonight’s game healthy, but so far there hasn’t been an announcement, tweets Amanda Comak of the Washington Times.
  • Nationals manager Davey Johnson doesn’t think that the club needs to make a blockbuster move before the deadline, writes Dan Kolko of MASNsports.com.  “I have gone into that area with general managers, saying, ’I need so-and-so,’ or this, that and the other,” Johnson said. “But I like what we have here. I don’t see any emergency move needed.“
  • As the Indians look to bolster their pitching rotation, Francisco Liriano of the Twins is a name to keep an eye on, says Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (video link).
  • Dodgers pitcher Ted Lilly gave a solid endorsement of Cubs hurler Ryan Dempster, who is said to be a target for Los Angeles, writes Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times.  In addition to the Dodgers, there are six to eight other teams reportedly in on Dempster.

    “Dodgers pitcher Ted Lilly gave a solid endorsement of Cubs hurler Ted Lilly, who is said to be a target for Los Angeles.”

    Im sure he did, who wouldn’t give a solid endorsement for themselves.

              neither “ted lily” nor “paul malome” even exist though, so I find it hard to believe they are good friends.

    I love all the comments poking fun at pitcher Ted Lilly’s glowing endorsement of hurler Ted Lilly, and will love them even more when the typo is inevitably fixed. It’ll be like when crazy people have nonsensical conversations, except on a larger scale. 🙂

    Ted Lilly: “In a one game playoff, I’d have to give the ball to Ted Lilly.”

    Rickey: “Rickey Henderson agrees. Rickey Henderson would also give the ball to Ted Lilly.”

    IF the Nats DFA Xavier Nady, then I feel the Pirates NEED to grab him off of waivers. Nady’s career numbers at PNC are incredible. Also, the pirates are in need for an upgraded bench, it seems like a match made in heaven. Xavier has said on many occasions that PNC was his favorite park to hit in due to the measurements and visibility from the batters box. As a matter of fact, his career was resurrected here, and it helped him earn his last decent contract. I would be very dissapointed if we did not take a flyer on him. It is a ZERO risk move if he goes on waivers. We dont have a productive Adam LaRoche and Michael Morse…we have Jones and McGhee platooning first, but platooning those 2 at first, and Jones and Nady in RF will surely be better than trotting Drew Sutton or Josh Harrison out to a corner outfield spot. Nady surely is not what he was a few years ago, but he is absolutely a better corner outfield option compared to 2 utility infielders.

    Any other Pirate fans out there that wants to give me an Amen?

      You’re wanting to play Jones in right and first at the same time?
