• Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Brewers are a team that could easily have lost 65 games last year, and there's still the whole Pat Murphy business, but they can still throw Brandon Lockridge and a rejuvenated Blake Perkins out there, and then there's David Hamilton.


• If Justin Verlander can ever be convinced to stay away from nuclear power plants and reach his full potential, the Tigers pitching staff could be formidable with Ty Madden and Brenan Hanifee.


• Those around the Pirates expect them to make serious runs at Junior Perez as well as Carlos Correa, but if they can get Justin Lawrence, Hunter Barco (whose velocity is still down around 81, but hopes his lucky dog can turn his fortunes around), and Dennis Santana back on track, Derek Shelton's biggest problem will be what to do with Joey Bart, who is upset about the rumors, and has lately bein seen staying up late at night, sitting in the doorways of restaurants, eating chicken curry until someone shows up and tells him to go home.


• Then there's what Padres manager Mike Shildt sees in Garrett Hawkins after the staff felt that he turned the corner with a bright winter.

tangerine

the Nationals are openly shopping for a bat

and are dangling
           PJ Poulin

as bait

Chicago might be interested

and might be willing to part with
           Miguel Amaya

but
Cubs general manager
Jed Hoyer

who has been
twisting under the pressure lately

needs to make a move
if only to not look like
such a tangerine

will agree only
if able to shed
           Michael Busch's salary
