• Those around the Rockies expect them to make serious runs at Andrew Benintendi as well as Ryan Vilade, but if they can get Jeff Criswell, Kyle Freeland (whose velocity is still down around 85, but hopes his lucky vegetable can turn his fortunes around), and Tanner Gordon back on track, Warren Schaeffer's biggest problem will be what to do with Ezequiel Tovar, who is upset about the rumors, and has lately been seen staying up late at night, sitting in the doorways of factories, eating Hungarian goulash until someone shows up and tells him to go home.


• Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Cubs are a team that could easily have lost 98 games last year, and there's still the whole Craig Counsell business, but they can still throw Carson Kelly and a rejuvenated Gabriel Arias out there, and then there's Tyler Austin.


• The season is the time for a team like the Marlins to develop hitters like Agustin Ramirez, Griffin Conine, and Owen Caissie, and let Sandy Alcantara eat innings to buy time behind Bradley Blalock for Tyler Phillips to mature.


• "wow, let the players come and go, for fortitude will not make the Twins dangerous," says Jeremy Zoll about a philosophy of building a team, (and when I say I have none replies), "Don't cry you may take mine", for losing's less than shifting (but winning is more than radios).

ballad of jeff greenberg

the blues are being sung around
the Tigers clubhouse

after
Ty Madden's
co-worker left him

and afterward felt so sad

and lonely
Madden got a case of a lacerated small intestine

but

if
Kenley Jansen

can come around

and Jeff Greenberg can pull in a solid pitcher like
Reiver Sanmartin

Detroit will have to be reckoned with
