Odds And Ends: Giambi, Wagner, Oswalt, Snyder

Another round of links... Ed Price of AOL FanHouse reports that the Rockies officially announced the signing of Jason Giambi to a minor league deal. Kiley McDaniel of Baseball Prospectus says some clubs watch Latin American teams in the Little League World Series to establish preliminary lists of interesting players. Billy Wagner pitched an inning for the Mets today and Gameday says he hit 95 mph. He threw nine of his 19 pitches for strikes and picked up two strikeouts, walking one without allowing a hit. The Red Sox were surely watching the outing since they have another day to work out a deal with the Mets for Wagner. Roy Oswalt tells MLB.com's Brian McTaggart that time is running out and he wants the Astros to win soon, while he's around with Carlos Lee, Lance Berkman and possibly Miguel Tejada.  As MLB.com's Steve Gilbert reports, Chris Snyder is glad to have signed an extension when he did.
