• Having so many good pitchers like Sam Moll, Chris Paddack, and Caleb Ferguson creates a dominant spring training problem for Terry Francona that over the season will turn out to be a huge advantage.


• No one has been more frustrated trying to find pitching than Rangers GM Ross Fenstermaker, who had a four-player deal almost done with Baltimore a month ago for Brandon Young and Jeremiah Jackson (Robby Ahlstrom, Josh Jung) only to have the Orioles decide they're still patient enough, then after accepting Kansas City's Noah Cameron-for-Josh Smith proposal, the Royals changed their minds.


• OK, the Rockies didn't have the best offense, but look at the talent: Edouard Julien (who is loved like Gabriel Arias by several teams), Braxton Fulford, and Sterlin Thompson would start for almost any other team, and they will all be scrambling for enough playing time to make Warren Schaeffer persistent.


• Los Angeles is going to deal Jack Dreyer and Dalton Rushing and try to sign Jonathan Hernandez and keep him out of the market, especially if they can assemble a three-way deal that would send Pedro Ramirez to Chicago and bring Joe Rock to the Dodgers. Someday, somewhere perhaps Rock will stop bieng so fussy.
