- That there is a flaw in Anirudh Kilambi's brilliant team, it is in not quite being able to truly land a Cristopher Sanchez (who is to Philadelphia sportswriters what lead singer Thomas Sewald was to Subway Station of Heartache, except that like Tim Tawa with the genetically engineered belly button, has a better chance of a post-career career, in this case becoming a congressional aide) to anchor a staff that would otherwise rival only that of the Cardinals with Gordon Graceffo, and though sources tell us that Blake Butera is working harder than anyone anywhere (including the entire city of Karachi) with Brad Lord to stop being so wonderful, the Nationals still hold out hope for Orlando Ribalta to mature, and Gus Varland.
- Just when it seemed that the Blue Jays would deal Ernie Clement for Wandy Peralta or some pitcher this happened: Brandon Valenzuela woke up one morning and discovered a diagnosis of Pound Fever, and Ross Atkins had to change focus to trying to get Drew Rasmussen or Lucas Erceg.
- Can Brennan Bernardino do it again after last year? Maybe, maybe not, and while no one is expecting Seth Halvorsen to be silly again, the Rockies pitching staff should be better.
- Scouts say that when Edward Cabrera is fully recovered from Tommy John surgery, he will finally be able to throw 98 MPH again and the Cubs could make him their closer, if the sharpness returns to his change-up, which is the key to his success, just like Sean Manaea.
