Names of interest, or not

Some names and notes of players that have been floating throughout the interwebs:
Braden Looper - Rotoworld seems to think the Reds would have an interest in his services. Not sure if there is any real rumor here. Sounds like speculation:
Braden Looper (Cardinals) - Looper's 4.94 ERA and dismal strikeout rate in his first year as a starter suggested that he'd have a hard time lasting another season in the rotation in 2008, but he was able to improve for the Cardinals, finishing 12-14 with a 4.16 ERA. That's enough to insert him into the Jason Marquis class of starters and potentially land him another three-year deal as a free agent. The top teams probably won't be after him, but clubs looking for a guy to eat innings could see considerable value in his durability. It'd be for the best if he stays in the NL.
Previous prediction: Nationals - three years, $21 million
New prediction: Reds - three years, $21 million
Jocketty has signed Looper in the past, so it's not out of the realm of possibility, but I see this one as highly suspect, especially at that amount.
Miguel Montero - This one comes courtesy of the East Valley Tribune (via Redszone):
As the Diamondbacks conduct their due diligence this offseason, they have found significant interest in reserve catcher Miguel Montero.
"That’s a pretty popular name," a major league source said.
While the D-Backs would prefer to keep Montero because of his offensive productivity and his affordability, his marketability seems to make him the most likely trading piece to address their hole at second base.
. . . . . . .Boston could be in the market for a catcher if free agent Jason Varitek goes elsewhere, and Detroit, Cincinnati, Houston and perhaps Milwaukee also might have interest.
Montero put up solid numbers in the minors: .291/.356/.467, though those could be a bit inflated by the Pacific Coast League. He's 25 years old and doesn't go into arbitration until after next season, so he's still cheap. I'm not sure the Reds are a match if the Dbacks are looking for a 2B, but he's an interesting catching option, especially since he'd set up a nice Lefty-Righty platoon with Hanigan.
Oliver Perez and Jon Garland - Rotoworld seems to think the Reds really need to sign some pitching, I guess. The writer is much more non-committal on this one for the Reds as he only mentions them as possible players on these two guys. I don't have a whole lot of interest in Garland, unless he is desperate and wants to sign a one-year deal. I've always liked Perez, butBoras has been arguing that he's one of the top 5 lefties in the game and that his career path looks a lot like Randy Johnson and Sandy Koufax. Translation: he'll be expensive. So, no thanks for that kind of money.
Jermaine Dye - Ken Rosenthal mentions in his latest column that:
The Reds are looking for right-handed power, and general manager Walt Jocketty told the Cincinnati Enquirer that he spoke with the Rockies about Matt Holliday. The Reds also inquired about the Marlins' Josh Willingham before he was traded to the Nationals, and remain interested in Atkins.
MLB Trade Rumors speculates that Jermaine Dye might be a nice fit. The White Sox brass is currently in Arizona evaluating talent (I'm assuming that doesn't mean they are at the strip clubs). As Thundering Turtle points out, these players are currently in the AFL: Carlos Fisher, Robert Manuel, Pedro Viola, Sean Watson, Justin Turner, Chris Valaika and Drew Stubbs.
I don't think Dye makes sense for the Reds. He's the kind of player that you pick up to fill that last remaining hole. At 35, he's not the type of player that build with. The Reds should be looking for those types of players.

Oh, wait. Never mind.
I am also a fan of Oliver Perez, it seems like he’s always thisclose to putting it all together and being dominant.
Looper, Garland, and Dye – NO DAMNED THANKS.
Montero is intriguing I guess, but why didn’t we target him at the trading deadline if we wanted him?
"Aio, quantitas magna frumentorum est."
perhaps they wanted Owings more?
Or maybe the Dbacks weren’t ready to trade him. Maybe they felt like he wasn’t worth giving up for a rental player.

Too bad about Weathers
I was feeling rather comfortable about the pitching situation, but as it seems Weathers is not coming back and I have seen nothing about resigning Affeldt and Lincoln (did I miss something), I suppose someone like Looper needs to be considered. Just not for too much of anything. And not as a starter, unless he’s a sixth man.
Why all the pitching?
It seems Rotoworld hasn’t realized that slots 1-4 are already filled for ‘09 and there are 5 or 6 young guns ready to compete for the fifth spot. Looper as a reliever wouldn’t be so bad, though.
Youth wins games; veteran presence wins championships!
some of these folks may look at our rotation
and see Harang (4.78 ERA) as a wash-out, Arroyo (4.77) as below-average, and Cueto (4.81) as a question. if you look at our overall rotation numbers from last year, it doesnt look great. we were something like 13th in the league in starter ERA, but of course a good deal of that has to do with the likes of Josh Fogg, Matt Belisle, and Homer, all with ERAs over 7 in 28(!) starts. i agree that our rotation is set and no additions are needed, but i can also understand an outsider taking a glance at the team and not being nearly as certain.

Also
of the 82 qualifying starters, the Reds ranked 44 (Cueto), 46 (EV), 61 (Harang), and 69 (Arroyo) in defensive efficiency (DER). A better defense behind them might make them look better.
Then again, they also ranked 18 (EV), 55 (Arroyo), 64 (Harang), and 72 (Cueto) in fielding independent pitching (FIP). The large number of home runs they give up doesn’t help them. Some of that could be the park factor, but also some of that could be the fact that innings last longer in front of a weak defense.

Not that he was ever on the list,
but scratch Kevin Gregg off it. Rosenthal is reporting Gregg was acquired by the Cubs.

Buster Olney reports Gregg was traded for Jose Ceda.
If so, that’s a huge pickup for Florida. Ceda’s young but has big, big closer potential, drawing Lee Smith comps.

Sometimes it feels that Walt is going to sit on this off season too long
and miss the boat. But it could be a good thing – maybe he really is going to give the young guys a shot. The more I think about it, the more I like Stubbs as the Opening Day centerfielder. And heck, why not give Valaika and Frazier a shot at making the team out of spring? Why not. Better than spending a ton of dough on an aging veteran. We’ve been down that road far too many times before, and we always end up turning around when we reach the dead end.
ESPN reports that Nick Swisher
has been dealt to the Yankees for minor league pitcher Jeff Marquez. Good deal for NYY if those are the only players involved. Marquez’s star has dimmed the last couple of years.

there's gotta be more
otherwise, why didn’t the Reds offer Maloney? And if they did, why didn’t the White Sox accept?
"You never want to give up a 7-0 lead, in your rival's ballpark, that would put them in first place. Never want to do that." - Ron Darling
There is definitely more coming back from the Yanks
Ken Rosenthal says that the Yanks are also getting Kanekoa Texeira in the deal. You gotta think that the Yankees are giving up either Kennedy or Hughes or maybe Robinson Cano.
"You never want to give up a 7-0 lead, in your rival's ballpark, that would put them in first place. Never want to do that." - Ron Darling
You gotta be kidding
Kennedy, Hughes, or Cano? For Swisher?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Nope
Not kidding at all. Kennedy is overrated. Hughes is over-injured. And Cano matches up very well to Swisher, though I’ll admit that his age and position make him more valuable. But I don’t think any one of those three would have been outrageous to include in a deal for Swisher.
"You never want to give up a 7-0 lead, in your rival's ballpark, that would put them in first place. Never want to do that." - Ron Darling
You might think that
But trust me, Cashman doesn’t. There is no way he would do that. And the fans would run him out of town if he even thought about it.
Some had lost faith in Kennedy, but he’s kicking butt in Winter League, and is back in good graces.
Cano and Hughes might be traded, but not for a guy like Swisher.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Kennedy doesn't project to be more than middle of the road does he?
I kinda thought he is a polished pitcher who lacks stuff.

Kennedy
was the Yankees’ first round draft pick in 2006. He hasn’t been playing pro baseball for long. (I don’t think even he expected to make it to the big leagues so quickly, or he wouldn’t have scheduled his wedding for October last year.)
Kennedy is often compared to Mike Mussina. If IPK grew up to be Moose, I think the Yanks would be content.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
really?
You think Yankees fans could be happy with a 270 game winner? That’s a bold statement.

i dont think Yankee fans will ever be happy

Mike Celizic
think the Yankees should sign Sabathia, Burnett, and Lowe if they want to get number 27.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I dunno
The “luxury tax” has definitely had an impact. And the Yanks are paying for their own stadium.
Celizic is basing his argument on the assumption that the new stadium will be a money machine for the Yankees. I’m not so sure. The Cowboys are desperately seeking a loan, and apparently, they aren’t the only ones.
Wall Street is likely who the Yankees were counting on the fill all those luxury boxes, but Wall Street is not in a mood to spend these days.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
last i heard
the Yanks had the taxpayers picking up the tab for their new digs. what gives?
by Charlie Scrabbles on Nov 14, 2008 5:28 PM EST up reply actions
No
The Yankees were always planning to pay for their own stadium.
They do have some tax deals with the city, but they’re providing their own funding. The taxpayers are not paying for the new Yankee Stadium.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
They did get quite a bit out of the city...
but you’re right. They have no leverage, since it’s not like the Yankees could just pull out and head to another city, so they knew they’d have to pay for the actual structure themselves.
And NYC is hit especially hard right now (though the rest of the country could easily overtake it soon), so yeah, I might expect them not to spend quite as freely as usual.
This does make me wonder if any economists have looked at how sports salaries respond to macroeconomic conditions. Hrmmmm…
This place is like a sexy preschool.
Yankee fans
are pretty happy with Moose. I think a lot of fans only watched games to see Mussina try for 20 wins by the end of this season.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
There is, but it's going from Chicago to NYY!
Apparently, the Yankees also get Kanekoa Texeira, a AA reliever who is a promising prospect. WHat gives, here?

3:02pm: Rosenthal now says the White Sox will also receive Wilson Betemit and pitching prospect Jhonny Nunez.

my first reaction is that the Sox got hosed
Nunez looks like he could be something, but his numbers aren’t so good that I’m wowed. I’ll leave it to the scouts to say more.
Teams continue to be sucked in by a couple of good minor league years from Betemit. Personally, I don’t see what’s so attractive about him.

Good riddance.
Like Josh Phelps, he’s got a good stick, but his defense is so gawd-awful it’s just not worth it.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I really like this deal for the Yankees.
Betemit does nothing for me. Nunez thrived in relief in the Nats system last year after hitting a wall as a starter. He began his career with the Dodgers. He’s a good bullpen arm. Throws hard. He’s the kind of guy Kenny Williams likes.
The two best players in the deal are going to New York.

by Thundering Turtle on Nov 13, 2008 4:15 PM EST up reply actions
What the Sox got
was cash. They’re saving money on the deal.
Marquez was seen as a pretty good prospect, but the Yankees have more right-handed pitchers than they know what to do with. They also need roster spots. Marquez was on the 40-man, and Nunez would have had to be put on the roster before the rule 5 draft.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Maloney doesn't seem to fit Kenny WIlliams' mold.
Williams has a thing for guys who throw hard — Danks, Masset, MacDougle, Sisco, etc. I don’t suppose every pitcher he acquires falls into the gas flinger category, but an awfully lot of them do. I certainly prefer Maloney to Marquez.

You lad, are rec'd
I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m glad others are on board.
The way I see it going down: Jim thinks it will be a funny joke if he cheats on Pam with Kelly. He does (Kelly gets clingy and Kevin laughs). Pam, devastated, is susceptible to Creed’s charms and he buggers her mercilessly. After many laughs the episode ends on a wistful note as Pam and Jim are both shown to be very sad.
no way Jose
Pam and Jim are the one shining paragon of hope we have left in this shadowy abyss of a universe. people are losing their homes, gays cant get married, the icecaps are melting, the Soviets still have a million A-bombs, promising young college grads cant find jobs, and the Fresh Prince almost won an Oscar. when Pam showed up in the parking lot this world got up off the mat one more time, Rocky-style. and you want to take that away from us?

Two things
The NFL really lost last night because that was an incredible game, according to the highlights that I finally saw this morning. Good thing I wasn’t able to watch it live or else I might have enjoyed it more.
The NFL has to change their overtime, don’t they? How shitty is that for the Patriots that they battle back to score and send it to overtime just so that Brett Favre can set up a bukkake fest by winning the coin toss? It makes absolutely no sense to me that both teams don’t get at least one possession in overtime.

Obviously
the ideal overtime would be a 30 minute OT with a field goal kicking contest at the end if it’s still tied.
Honestly though, how cool woud it be if the NFL put the same system that college football has in place? And if Time Warner picked up the goddamn NFL Network?

Oh, no doubt.
But for companies like Time Warner, who (in Cincinnati at least) don’t even offer it on their premium packages, games like this are costing them money, and rightly so. They might be better off biting the bullet and adding it to their premium package, instead of losing customers to the satellite companies.

agree on both counts
It was an incredible game, and I hate the NFL OT rules. Sudden death sucks. The college rules are better. Or they could just play a full quarter.
The NFL Network is not available here, so it’s not like I have a choice about whether to pay for it or not.
A friend of mine in Youngstown does get the NFL Network, as part of her cable package…but she doesn’t get to see the games. Apparently, her cable provider would have to shell out extra for that, and they refused.
