Some to watch:

Yhency Brazoban, RHP, Dodgers. Acquired by Dan Evans from the Yankees last summer, Brazoban shot through the minors and had a 17-1 strikeout-walk ratio in Las Vegas. He throws a consistent 94-97 mph.

News and notes


The way the Yankees view their Jose Contreras-Esteban Loaiza deal is simple: if Loaiza regains his command and his cutter, fine, they have a candidate to compete with Jon Lieber and Orlando Hernandez for the fourth starter spot in the postseason rotation. If not, they saved $12 million off Contreras' contract. "That's cash we can use next year in the free agent market," says Brian Cashman.

Now that the Cubs are bringing up Ryan Dempster into their bullpen and Lieber has been a regular starter for the Yankees, one AL GM says, "I think more and more teams will carefully examine the viability of signing pitchers with arm problems. Medical science is so advanced today, it's worth signing a Dempster or Lieber under value and accepting the rehab time and costs."
