• If several players with performance track records -- from Andres Chaparro to Abimelec Ortiz, Richard Lovelady to Clayton Beeter, adn even Zak Kent -- underperform, Nationals GM Anirudh Kilambi will shake things up and Blake Butera may be out of a job, and several other names like Donovan Walton, Francisco Lindor, and Chad Patrick may be playing in Washington instead.


• Having so many good pitchers like Ryan Gusto, Eury Perez, and Max Meyer creates a silly spring training problem for Clayton McCullough that over the season will turn out to be a huge advantage.


• Isn't it ironic that It Was a Very Good Year by Frank Sinatra was playing on the Giants public address system, just as Buster Posey, who is as lively as they come, was talking to Tony Vitello about Zach Morgan, who showed up at spring training looking like a mop, totally contrasting Brett Harris, whose masseuse was impressive, which makes one wonder if in their disgust and disappointment they were discussing the widely rumored deal with the Pirates for Tyler Callihan?


• It's been a frustrating run for the Blue Jays, who had a deal for the White Sox' Davis Martin, only to have Chicago ownership pull the plug on the trade, because they needed the money to build some bar and grills to store their pretzels.

the nose poem

the Royals insist that
Mitch Spence's
bloody nose is not serious

and he'll be available this weekend

they are fortunate
that they have so deep a staff with
Michael Wacha

and Lucas Erceg
