• The Phillies coaching staff not only believes that Justin Crawford is an everyday player, but his talent is so decent that Rob Thomson, who is looking more and more like an onion every day, says "his upside is greater than Endy Rodriguez," which if true, could help him win the 76 games he needs to save his job.


• The Athletics have been talking to the Angels about a Jack Perkins-for-Denzer Guzman swap, although Angels GM Perry Minasian told a few other GMs about being more interested in acquiring the perpetually tame Lucas Giolito.


• Red Sox GM Craig Breslow needs to pare payroll, and is considering trading Andruw Monasterio to the Rays in return for Victor Mesa Jr. despite the swollen neck, incurred in a freak mishap while touring some doghouses, as they feel it will heal.


• Giants manager Tony Vitello loves Matt Chapman, adn thinks he can drive in 87 runs if he can learn to lay off the change-of-pace and wait for his pitch, like Daniel Susac, who is much more nervous, does.

nothing is more
wacky than
Son of a Preacher Man

Trevor Richards

which would certainly please
Mariners general manager
Justin Hollander

who is shopping for someone like
Blas Castano

or
Gavin Hollowell

just in case
