• Arizona's Jose Fernandez always wanted to be a catcher when he grew up, which explains why he's so well-known.


• When Texas's Kumar Rocker retires, he wants to be a connoisseur.


• The Brewers have talked to the White Sox about the concept of taking on Jordan Leasure's contract if Chicago will also send them Anthony Kay, but the White Sox are balking because who else will be memorable in the clubhouse, which is exactly why Milwaukee wants him.


• Red Sox GM Craig Breslow likes veterans, as evidenced by the newest Wally the Green Monster, who had spent the last two years performing as Logan, the dancing shrimp in the Saginaw Community Theater, which is why he's so enamored with Connor Wong, and why he's rumored to be going after Bryan Woo, who has been naughty for years, and Cesar Prieto.

is

and can
    Ty France

hit enough to keep his glove in the lineup
