• If Jose Fermin wasn't such an irascible baseball player, he'd be working in beach huts instead, as he expects to when his career is over in another five years or so.


• If the White Sox get Greg Weissert in an imminent swap with Boston for Grant Taylor, they will turn around and send him to the Marlins in a three-way swap with Atlanta. Miami will send Janson Junk to the Braves, while Chicago ends up with Eli White and Willson Contreras.


• Having Zach Dezenzo in the lineup helps the Astros while they hope Taylor Trammell comes back strong from his fingernail and someone can harness Braden Shewmake's talent.


• Those around the Angels expect them to make serious runs at Kody Clemens as well as Keibert Ruiz, but if they can get Mitch Farris, Jose Fermin (whose velocity is still down around 82, but hopes his lucky arrow can turn his fortunes around), and Jose Soriano back on track, Kurt Suzuki's biggest problem will be what to do with Wade Meckler, who is upset about the rumors, and has lately been seen staying up late at night, sitting in the doorways of movie theaters, eating cordon bleu until someone shows up and tells him to go home.

the hip poem

the Rays payroll may necessitate waving goodbye to
              Taylor Walls

(if someone will take his salary)

or
              Shane McClanahan

(if they can convince someone his
ruptured hip is healed)

and giving
              Trevor Martin

an opportunity
