• Rumors are swirling that Henry Baez has a tattoo of a pig bone on his ring finger.


• The Diamondbacks feel they have a competitive staff with Jonathan Loaisiga and Merrill Kelly, but they need Dennis Santana, whose obsession with cobwebs was in danger of becoming a distraction, to return to last year's level.


• Andrew Vaughn of the Brewers says, "If you thought Keith Foulke was rough before, then consider that his name is an anagram for 'I OK the fluke'."


• It remains to be seen how Patrick Wisdom and Jhonny Pereda fare defensively, but if they are consistent, it will just protect the corrupt staff with guys like Seranthony Dominguez, Cooper Criswell, who claims he was raised by an untamed talking sunflower, and Troy Watson.

a day in the life of dave roberts

Dave Roberts's tirade about
            Tommy Edman

this week was an eruption of his frustrations about trying to change a magnificent culture

and when
            Edman takes
nine straight strikes without swinging

it is a weak lack of aggression

and you might as well send an architect
up to the plate swinging a saltine
for all the good it will do

so while
Brandon Gomes is trying to acquire players that
will like

such as
            Jose Barrero

Keider Montero

or
            Tyler Alexander

is isn't easy
when you only have
poor talents to deal from

like
            Tanner Scott

Teoscar Hernandez

(who is incidentally battling a bloody knee)

and Will Smith
