    • INF Ty Wigginton is a starter for the Orioles until the club signs two corner infielders. Wigginton, who is entering the second season of a two-year contract, offers the club flexibility in its off-season dealings. He can play first, second or third base, but the club would prefer him as a right-handed bat off the bench.

    • 3B Garrett Atkins, who became a bench player last year while making $7.05 million, will not be tendered a contract by the Dec. 12 deadline. The Rockies could release Atkins on Nov. 20 when 40-man rosters must be set, if they feel any mild trade possibilities won't become realistic in a few more weeks. It's hard to see any club trading for Atkins and only being able to cut his salary 20 percent and being at the mercy of the arbitration process when he's about to become a free agent.

    • At least a dozen teams have inquired about signing DeRosa, including the Cardinals, Mariners, Nationals, Giants, Phillies, Orioles, Rangers, Yankees, Mets, Twins and Braves, the L.A. Times reports.
      Recommendation: It looks like DeRosa is set to receive a large multi-year deal if there truly are that many viable bidders for his services. Small payroll teams like the Twins may not have much of a chance to sign him as a result.
