Pablo Ozuna

Phillies Cut Ties With Ozuna

By | August 8, 2009 at 3:14pm CDT

According to Scott Lauber of the Wilmington Journal, the Phillies have released 34-year-old infielder Pablo Ozuna.

Ozuna was batting .294/.342/.396 with no home runs and 15 RBI in 187 at-bats at Triple-A Lehigh Valley before he was suspended for a positive PED test in June.  He appeared in 68 major league games last season during stays with the White Sox and Dodgers.

Odds and Ends: Burnett, Inoa, Minaya, Glavine

By Tim Dierkes | August 27, 2008 at 10:51am CDT

Today’s links…

  • Pablo Ozuna…designated for assignment again.  Additionally, the Phillies cut Andy Tracy.  The 34 year-old hit .288/.377/.516 in Triple A this year. 
  • Eddie Bajek added AL infielders to his Elias rankings.  Orlando Cabrera and Edgar Renteria are Type As, while Mark Ellis and Mark Grudzielanek are Type Bs.  Cabrera could net the Sox some picks.
  • The Phillies would like to bring Jamie Moyer back next year, but so far they’ve only had informal talks.  Earlier this month Moyer spoke of an obligation with the Phillies, but he is not under contract for ’09.  The Phillies have also had informal talks with Pat Burrell, who’s said he wants to stay.
  • Richard Griffin discusses A.J. Burnett quite a bit in his mailbag, suggesting this is the pitcher’s best season because of his career-high win total.
  • Athletics Nation talks to A’s owner Lewis Wolff about the Michael Inoa signing.
  • Omar Minaya’s job is secure.
  • Aaron Harang has suggestions for the Reds to make their ballpark more pitcher-friendly.
  • Tom Glavine is feeling good after somewhat minor elbow surgery, but isn’t sure about playing in ’09.  Ken Rosenthal wrote recently that Glavine wants to pitch next year.
  • Grant at McCovey Chronicles gives his take on pitch counts.

Dodgers Sign Ozuna, Look To Stay Active

By Steve Adams | July 20, 2008 at 4:14pm CDT

Ken Gurnick from MLB.com writes that the Dodgers signed veteran utility player Pablo Ozuna today. The White Sox designated Ozuna for assignment on July 8 to make room for Paul Konerko when he returned from the DL. He elected to become a free agent after clearing waivers. Ozuna had posted a mediocre line of .281/.313/.328 in 69 plate appearances for the White Sox this year.

Luis Maza was designated for assignment to make room for Ozuna, Gurnick writes. Maza was called up as a quick shortstop fix earlier in the year, but had posted an abysmal .228/.278/.282 line through 79 ABs with the Dodgers.

Manager Joe Torre refers to Ozuna as a "safety net" at three positions, and also expects the Dodgers to continue to be active over the next 10 days:

"I know Ned [Colletti, general manager] is on the phone, trying to make our club better," Torre said. "Chances are, we’ll be active. Having said that, we’re trying."

Gurnick mentions that the Dodgers are hesitating to bring pinch-hitting specialist Mark Sweeney off the DL, perhaps signaling that an additional move is near on the horizon. General Manager Ned Coletti said that with shortstop options limited in Rafael Furcal’s absence, his desire to acquire a run-producing third baseman would intensify.

Personal speculation: Adrian Beltre is available, and the Twins look to have thrown in the towel on their attempt to acquire him, but the asking price there is quite high. Minnesota could still offer competition to the Dodgers in an attempt to acquire a third baseman. Here’s a look at the third base market.

Casey Blake’s name has been tossed around with the Dodgers. Hank Blalock could be another option, if he can remain healthy and return to his old self. His great run from 2003-2005 seems like a long time ago at this point, but a turnaround would be a tremendous boost to the Dodgers’ lineup.

White Sox Designate Pablo Ozuna For Assignment

By Tim Dierkes | July 8, 2008 at 1:45pm CDT

Paul Konerko is coming off the DL.  To make room for him, the White Sox decided to designate utility man Pablo Ozuna for assignment.  Juan Uribe’s spot is safe for now.

Ozuna, 33, hit .281/.313/.328 in 69 plate appearances this year.  Ozuna had success in ’06, but fractured his fibula in May of ’07 and hasn’t done much since.
