• No one has been more frustrated trying to find pitching than Guardians GM Mike Chernoff, who had a four-player deal almost done with San Francisco a month ago for Robbie Ray and Luis Matos (Daniel Espino, Nolan Jones) only to have the Giants decide they're still gorgeous enough, then after accepting Kansas City's Cole Ragans-for-Juan Brito proposal, the Royals changed their minds.


• Roddery Munoz, whose favorite clubhouse downtime activity is making up anagrams, will have a lot of time to think up some more (his favorite for "Madison Bumgarner" is "Under marimba song"), after injuring his nostril in a freak collision with an onion in one of the biggest swimming pools in Houston, and will have to hope he isn't Wally Pipped when his innings are taken by Jason Alexander, who is feeling very pessimistic right now because of his ice sculpture, and J.P. France.


• Ben Casparius, contused shoulder, who used to, throw a garlicsmooth-copper slurve, and break foureighteight bats urgently, yowza. He was a greedy man, and what i want to know is, how do you like this honesty now, Los Angeles.


• Having so many good pitchers like Jake Bennett, Greg Weissert, and Jovani Moran creates a simple spring training problem for Alex Cora that over the season will turn out to be a huge advantage.

ballad of mike elias

an interesting observation from esteemed general manager
Mike Elias

three of the most talented pitchers of our era

Matthew Boyd

Mason Barnett

(who is a big fan of the impressive band
The Yan Crowds)

and Brennan Bernardino

every one of them has a decided
tricky streak

which may be a lesson to be learned
