Troy Glaus drawing interest

By Allan

Buster Olney of ESPN says that infielder Troy Glaus is drawing interest from power starved teams. Olney says that Glaus’ situation will become more clear as others sign.

Glaus, 34, had 16 home runs in 2010, a big drop off from the 38 he hit in 2006 while he was with the Toronto Blue Jays. While Olney did not specify which teams may be interested in Glaus, the Boston Red Sox, Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers were interested in him towards the end of August this year.

Glaus provides teams with the flexibility to play him at designated hitter, first base and even his old position of third base so the Chicago Cubs, Tampa Bay Rays and Washington Nationals could be among the teams needing Glaus’ services.

ESPN’s Jason A. Churchill says that Colorado Rockies could be an ideal fit since he would add right-handed power to complement the left-handed Todd Helton. The Rockies have interest in veteran infielder Bill Hall, according to the Denver Posts’ Troy E. Renck, and he could provide the right-handed power that they seek.
