WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- Edward Salcedo has taken on near-mythical status on the Internet in recent months. Some reports are calling the Dominican teenager a five-tool shortstop who could be the next Alex Rodriguez. Others say he's not worthy of such hype. The Indians have been right in the middle of all this speculation. Several reports have claimed the Tribe has already signed Salcedo, who ... [link]

Published 3/12/2008 by Tim Dierkes at MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com
Time for today's linkage. The Indians are in the running for 16 year-old shortstop Edward Salcedo, but the Boras client remains unsigned. IGN has their own What Might've Been type series, and recently they took a look at the Mike Piazza trades of 1998.  Haven't heard much on Piazza these last few weeks. The Angels seem ...

Odds and Ends: Inge, Salcedo, Corey, Nathan
Published 3/14/2008 by Tim Dierkes at MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com
I write this odds and ends post with two less wisdom teeth than I had yesterday.  Looks like applesauce for dinner. Jon Heyman says the Dodgers and Tigers haven't talked lately, and doesn't see L.A. taking on Brandon Inge's $19.1MM.  Aside from the standard Giants suggestion, Heyman puts on his speculation cap and wonders whether Inge could catch for ...

MLB Investigating Salcedo's Birthdate
Published 3/27/2008 by Tim Dierkes at MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com
Baseball America's Ben Badler has the latest on 16 year-old Dominican shortstop Edward Salcedo.  He says MLB is currently investigating Salcedo's birthdate (not an uncommon practice).  Scott Boras and Co. represent the kid, but they're not talking.  There were rumors he'd signed with the Tribe, but the Indians said two weeks ago that it wasn't true.  Badler ...
