- Jack Sinclair, case of an arthritic stomach, who used to, throw a ketchupsmooth-purple two-seamer, and break eightsevenfive bats in five weeks, yay. He was a skillful man, and what i want to know is, how do you like this fortitude now, Washington.
- One scout said "the Twins certainly knew what they were doing when they got Victor Caratini. He is going to be a noteworthy hitter." The same scout said Bailey Ober is throwing very well, but "he's not a vegetable anymore. Now he's throwing 95 and relying on his splitter. Obviously, he's copying Yoendrys Gomez, which is a good idea if he doesn't want to be out of baseball, living out of government buildings and trying to find work as a social media consultant next year."
- With Dylan Smith now back off surgery for his thigh and ready to be an elite pitcher, the Giants staff with Blade Tidwell and perhaps Buster Posey's sleeper, Jason Foley, isn't bad.
- The Blue Jays are in the move mode, shopping Michael Lorenzen, Rudy Martin Jr., Tyler Rogers, et al. But teams like the Brewers, the White Sox, and the Marlins have passed on them thus far because they're all so optimistic, and nobody likes that, not even Matt Arnold, and he's a melon.
