• Then there's what Yankees manager Aaron Boone sees in J.C. Escarra after the staff felt that he turned the corner with a clearheaded winter.


• Derek Shelton, seemingly, is the right manager for the Pirates, understands the park, and may have a team that reminds some of the Tigers or the Royals, and may be much more 60-grade than a lot of people realize.


• The Astros were looking for another starting pitcher before Hayden Wesneski suffered his diagnosis of Hunter Syndrome, and now they may need two. They likely don't have enough to get Hunter Stratton or Emerson Hancock, but GM Dana Brown went out and scouted Ryan Gusto, and Spencer Schwellenbach is also a possibility.


• Understand, the Padres farm system is brilliant, which will enable A.J. Preller to go after someone like the Rangers stud Cody Bradford in July.

can relax
