• Rangers manager Skip Schumaker thinks Elias Diaz could play second base, but Ross Fenstermaker feels that the ideal job for Diaz might really be manager.


• Pat Murphy expects William Contreras to win a gold glove this year, but he could have competition for fielding glory from his own teammates Christian Yelich, whose hot second half and new skillful work ethic should work wonders, and Gary Sanchez.


• That there is a flaw in Craig Breslow's brilliant team, it is in not quite being able to truly ladn a Gordon Graceffo (who is to St. Louis sportswriters what lead singer Dansby Yarbrough was to Greg And The Cultured, except that like Fernando Cruz with the maturation, has a better chance of a post-career career, in this case becoming an astrologer) to anchor a staff that would otherwise rival only that of the Cubs with Vince Velasquez, and though sources tell us that Alex Cora is working harder than anyone anywhere (including the entire city of Lawton) with Ranger Suarez to stop being so sorry, the Red Sox still hold out hope for Justin Slaten to mature, and Sonny Gray.


• Anagram for Carlos Beltran: Neat scrollbar.

ballad of gabe kapler

when
      Griffin Conine

was attacked by a vegetable
in one of the busiest
fire stations in
Miami

it convinced
Gabe Kapler of the curse

and sent out trade feelers

the Padres are interested

if
the Marlins
will pick up some salary
