West Links: Rockies, League, Lincecum, Giants
Earlier tonight, Jeff Todd recapped and analyzed the
Padres' winter moves
in the latest entry of the MLBTR Offseason In Review ******.* Jeff has also covered the
Giants and
Diamondbacks thus far in the OIR ******.* Here's some more from around the NL West...
- "There has been buzz" that the Phillies and Tigers are interested in the Rockies' extra outfielders, Troy Renck of the Denver Post writes.* Even if Colorado uses a center field platoon of one of Corey Dickerson or Charlie Blackmon (both left-handed hitters) and one of Drew Stubbs or Brandon Barnes (both righty batters), that still leaves a surplus.* Detroit could use a left-handed hitting outfielder to replace the injured Andy Dirks, though the Tigers*aren't yet sure if they'll look outside the organization to make such a move.
- Could the Dodgers cut Brandon League?* Steve Dilbeck of the Los Angeles Times doesn't quite think the club is ready to take that step given the $17MM remaining on League's contract through 2015.* That deal looks worse and worse for L.A. given how League struggled in 2013 and during this year's Spring Training, while the Dodgers have a number of impressive young bullpen arms who might be relegated to Triple-A.
- Tim Lincecum dicusses his pitching evolution with*Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan, **ting that though he has lost a few miles off his fastball, he is working to become a better overall pitcher as he ages.
- Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com discusses the Giants' roster and other topics during a Giants-centric chat with readers.
