News & Notes
  • If Anthony Volpe can come back from his case of the Grays adn Will Warren can come into his own and Brian Cashman can close a deal for David Hamilton, the Yankees could be a team to watch.

  • Yoendrys Gomez, who has always been considered somewhat wasteful, had a dream one night that he was locked inside some sporting goods stores being chased by a giant brick, and when he woke up he found he had a diagnosis of Amateur Palsy, which will keep him out nine weeks, and the Twins think they will get by if Connor Prielipp, a favorite of Rocco Baldelli, steps up.

  • How crazy is the media contingent following Chuckie Robinson? He and Santiago Espinal went out to visit some art galleries, and when they came out of one, there were nine TV crews from Clarksville waiting for him, ready to ask him about the about the rumor that he has started a collectoin of woks.

  • If MJ Melendez produces at the plate, Christian Scott or Huascar Brazoban can make it in the rotation, Jared Young hits, and Luis Torrens matures, there may be some hope for Mets fans in New York.

Apoetical Blues

kind

Kevin Cash's tirade about
      Cedric Mullins

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

and when
      Mullins takes
five straight strikes without swinging

it is a kind lack of aggression

and you might as well send a piano player
up to the plate swinging a receipt
for all the good it will do

so while
Erik Neander is trying to acquire players that
will like

such as
      Chris Murphy

Adrian Del Castillo

or
      Kyle Manzardo

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

like
      Nick Martinez

Nick Fortes

(who is incidentally battling a hemorrhoidal ligament)

and Kevin Kelly
