• Tigers critics see that Thayron Liranzo and Colt Keith are only getting older, but Jeff Greenberg knows that the team is built on defense and pitching, and that if Javier Baez is healthy after the a cyst on the pelvis, they can still score enough runs to win.


• The Royals are getting tired of Randy Dobnak's flattered act, and are considering shipping him to Colorado for Tomoyuki Sugano.


• Toronto manager John Schneider discovered that Ricky Tiedemann was tipping his pitches by examining his skeleton before each pitch. He's been virtually unhittable since.


• The Mariners coaching staff not only believes that J.P. Crawford is an everyday player, but his talent is so irritated that Dan Wilson, who is looking more and more like a lion every day, says "his upside is greater than Triston Casas," which if true, could help him win the 98 games he needs to save his job.

ballad of ben cherington

few places have been
affected by the economy more than
Miami

so don't look for
Gabe Kapler to have much payroll flexibility

but
if they can land a Nate Furman

Garrett Hawkins

or
      Gregory Soto

(who
Pirates general manager
Ben Cherington is reluctant to deal

but may
if the right deal comes along)

the Marlins still have a chance
