Odds And Ends: Zaun, D'Backs, Byrd

A few more links to read as we try to figure out who claimed Alex Rios... Gregg Zaun told Roch Kubatko of MASN.com that he was "totally shocked" to hear he was traded to the Rays. The D'Backs agreed to terms with Chris Owings, the 41st overall pick in this year's draft, on a $950k deal, according to Jim Callis of Baseball America. Owings, a high school shortstop, signed for $135k above slot. Amalie Benjamin of the Boston Globe reports that it may be three weeks before Paul Byrd is ready.
