Odds & Ends: Heyward, Yankees, Astros

Some more afternoon links... Jason Heyward - probably the game's best prospect - looks great so far in the Arizona Fall League, according to Jason Grey of ESPN.com. MLB.com's Mike Bauman says so far the Yankees' decision to commit hundreds of millions to C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett looks good. As Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle reports, Ned Yost stressed his experience during his interview for the Astros' managerial opening. James Schmehl of MLive.com suggests the Tigers should at least consider replacing hitting coach Lloyd McClendon with Rudy Jaramillo or another top batting instructor. MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports that the Rangers promoted four members of their front office.
