Odds & Ends: Cubs, Brewers, Twins

Some notes from around the horn as another top potential trade piece, Erik Bedard, hits the DL: Dave Cameron at Fangraphs gives a neat Pitch/FX examination of Mark DiFelice's stellar year. ESPN relays an AP report on the Cubs sale, with a rep from the Ricketts family calling stories that the conversations were stalling "untrue." Ken Davidoff at Newsday believes the market for starting pitching is thinning, as he sees Jarrod Washburn as the top option available. The Twins signed a couple draft picks today, including second-round pick P Billy Bullock, says Tyler Mason at MLB.com. The Indians also inked five more of their draftees today, says Dennis Manoloff at the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
