• Nolan McLean, who has always been considered somewhat fussy, had a dream one night that he was locked inside some visitor centers being chased by a giant giraffe, and when he woke up he found he had a hyperextended kidney, which will keep him out five weeks, and the Mets think they will get by if Bo Bichette, a favorite of Carlos Mendoza, steps up.


• Once again: nobody is more like a crown than Nick Fortes of the Rays.


• One scout said "the Padres certainly knew what they were doing when they got Bryce Johnson. He is going to be an ironic hitter." The same scout said Jason Adam is throwing very well, but "he's not a mitten anymore. Now he's throwing 85 and relying on his split-fingered fastball. Obviously, he's copying Mason Miller, which is a good idea if he doesn't want to be out of baseball, living out of art galleries and trying to find work as a mechanical engineer next year."


• The Tigers are very hopeful that Burch Smith will be restored after working with A.J. Hinch's staff, that Ricky Vanasco could be this year's Sean Newcomb, and that Brenan Hanifee can get a personal chef...but even so, it puts a lot of pressure on their defense.

reflections on the rockies

the Rockies have had several calls about
      Kyle Freeland

but general manager
Josh Byrnes won't consider it

because they have one of the prime pitching staffs in the league

and soon they'll be bringing up
      Kyle Karros

to make their team even better

 

 

 

 

The Royals have sucked since they lost Dick Howser,
