Ken You Dig This?
A couple tidbits from Ken Rosenthal's blog:
The Angels began the week 14-3 when their super utilityman Chone Figgins started at shortstop or center field. Figgins is only 5-7 and 160 pounds, but he had batted third seven times and even started three times at third base, forming a diminutive left side of the infield with David Eckstein, who is 5-7, 165. By contrast, Cardinals 3B Scott Rolen is 6-4, 240, and St. Louis SS Edgar Renteria is 6-1, 200. . . .Weaver might fall a couple positions if he's asking for that kind of money. The Dodgers could pick him up, and Arte's got some cash, I understand...
The June draft might be the weakest ever, according to a veteran scout. Two potential top-five draft picks, Long Beach State RHP Jered Weaver and Florida State SS Stephen Drew, will be represented by agent Scott Boras, and talk already is circulating that Weaver, the younger brother of Dodgers RHP Jeff Weaver, will demand a bonus between $10 million and $12 million if the Padres make him the No. 1 pick. The Padres also will consider Drew (the younger brother of J.D.) and Rice RHP Jeff Niemann. But Drew wouldn't be a fit unless he moved to the outfield. Padres SS Khalil Greene is a Rookie of the Year candidate and Class AAA 2B Josh Barfield is the organization's top prospect. . . .
