Around Baseball: Walker, Red Sox, Lugo, MLB Draft

Some notes from this early Friday morning:

Breaking: According to Rob Bradford; the Red Sox designated Julio Lugo for assignment.
  • According to Todd Zolecki the Phillies DFA'd Tyler Walker to make room for Clay Condrey. Walker pitched 11 innings, allowing 10 hits, 1 walk, with a 1.64 ERA.
  • The Red Sox want to talk with Mike Lowell about his health to see if they want to target players like Nick Johnson and Garrett Atkins; according to Joel Sherman.
  • Julio Lugo missed a mandatory team workout and didn't travel to Toronto with his teammates for their upcoming series against the Blue Jays. But Adam Kilgore reports, manager Terry Francona said Lugo missed the workout because of a "mix-up."
  • Buster Olney wants "The ability to trade draft picks, which is allowed in the NFL, NBA and NHL, but has never been permitted in baseball. If it were, a team that didn't want to pay the slot price for a prospect could trade that pick for players or for more picks later in the draft."
