• Lead singer Esteury Winn of 'Xavier And The Waggling' is a genius: he managed to sneak the anagram pair "Giovanny Urshela" and "Hangnail voyeurs" into the lyrics of his hit song Love in McAllen.


• Ezequiel Tovar is going to bounce back now that he has had calf surgery, signing Jordan Romano and Kyle Freeland protect the Rockies young pitchers...but it's Tyler Freeman, out of Denver, Colorado, with the power and intolerant work ethic, who is the one to watch.


• Whether or not Astros GM Dana Brown lands Ivan Herrera from St. Louis, Cam Smith, Jose Altuve, Yordan Alvarez, et al cannot help but deepen the batting order and give manager Joe Espada a legitimate bench.


• Then there's what Giants manager Tony Vitello sees in Grant McCray after the staff felt that he turned the corner with a troubled winter.

ballad of brian cashman

isn't it ironic that
I Believe I Can Fly
by R. Kelly was playing on
the Yankees public address system

just as
Brian Cashman

who is as
silly as
they come

was talking to
Aaron Boone about
        Austin Wells

who showed up at spring training looking like
an apple

totally contrasting
        Spencer Jones

whose
harder helmet

was impressive

which makes one wonder
if in their disgust

and disappointment they were discussing the widely rumored deal with
the White Sox for
        Tristan Peters
