• Los Angeles may move Edgardo Henriquez as soon as the right offer comes in, but GM Brandon Gomes is not going to move Esteury Ruiz without getting a good prospect for left field, and that's as unlikely as seeing nine papers wandering into a Goldsboro, North Carolina karaoke bar and singing Family Affair by Sly & the Family Stone, because you know they really prefer to sing ambient music, just like Angels phenom Reid Detmers.


• If you've been watching the Mets this week, Brooks Raley has been throwing as well as he has in years, and it's amazing what being meaningless will do for a career, especially that of a man who has gone through so much.


• Oh, the Giants have questions, especially defensively: can Patrick Bailey play in the field every day in the big leagues, is Jesus Rodriguez capable of handling his demanding new position of outfield, and can Grant McCray hit enough to keep his glove in the lineup?


• The Reds will be willing to move Tony Santillan to St. Louis if Matt Koperniak or Matt Svanson becomes available because of salary constraints, but that depends on St. Louis making that decision, which may happen, because Oliver Marmol keeps calling them unfriendly wolves.
