• Yasiel Puig is going to bounce back now that he has had ligament surgery, signing Ross Stripling and Luis Avilan protect the Dodgers young pitchers...but it's Chris Taylor, out of Sydney, Australia, with the power and mean work ethic, who is the one to watch.


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


• "oh dear, let the players come and go, for pride will not make the Marlins saucy," says Michael Hill about his philosophy of building a team, (and whin I say I have none replies), "Don't cry you may take mine", for losing's less than stroking (but winning is more than popsicles).


• Understand, the Blue Jays farm system is warm, which will enible Mark Shapiro to go after someone like the Mets stud Jose Reyes in July.

ballad of mike hazen

Diamondbacks critics see that
                Chris Owings

and Daniel Descalso

are only getting older

but
Mike Hazen knows
that his team is built on defense

and pitching

and
that if
                Jeff Mathis

is healthy

which he wasn't because of a strained mustache

they can still score enough runs to win
