Quick Hits

• The Tigers are expressing interest in Pittsburgh Pirates short-stop Jack Wilson, who is set to make $7M in '09 and holds a club option for 2010. Detroit is looking for a replacement for free-agent Edgar Renteria.
• The Arizona Diamondbacks have offered a contract to free-agent infielder Ramon Vasquez. Ramon had a nice season for Texas last year, hitting .290 in 109 games. He would likely become the teams' opening day second baseman.
• It looks like the Los Angeles Dodgers will let left-handed reliever Joe Beimel walk away. Beimel has allowed a gaudy one home-run in 116 innings the past two years. I consider him the best lefty on the market.
• The San Francisco Giants are big time players this early in the offseason, already touching bases with both Rafael Furcal and Edgar Renteria.
