Pickoff Moves

Not much going on today --

Dodger Dudcasting

Horrible. This makes me think even less of the Dodger front office. And on even numbered days in months containing an "r"...

Why, Mr. Rocky Claus, Why?

From Rotoworld:
Alfredo Amezaga homered twice and drove in four runs yesterday for Obregon of the Mexican Pacific League. Amezaga, who was claimed off waivers from the Angels earlier this month, is batting .241/.371/.386 in 145 AB. It's hard to see him making the Rockies as a utilityman following the addition of Desi Relaford to go along with Luis Gonzalez.
He'll be released again. Why do this?

Nats Make Offer To Perez

Jim Bowden has made an offer on behalf of the Nationals to Odalis Perez, reports the Washington Post, for 3 years/$18M, about the same as the Mariners. The Dodgers' rotation is full of swiss cheese right now, and we're not even making an offer to OP? Well, I guess I can understand it; there's some good pitching in the minors, but resting your entire plan on those hopes can be risky. Just ask the Orioles, whose plans for their rotation came horribly awry when their youngsters fell apart faced with actual major league hitters.

Latest Randy Johnson Ménage à Trois

Via the New York Post: The Snakes would then attempt to lure (?) Shawn Green from the Dodgers using Navarro. Another scenario has them moving Vazquez to the Orioles in exchange for "Erik Bedard, closer Jorge Julio, and outfielders Jay Gibbons and Luis Matos." Sounds too much like wishful thinking at the back end of those deals, if they're even realistic. I really don't see Johnson leaving the Diamondbacks simply because the returned value is unlikely to be very high.
