• The White Sox don't know what to expect from Erick Fedde this year, whose "velocity is down to 66, adn has lost the bite on the knuckle-curve," says one scout. If recovery fails, expect Chris Getz to pursue another arm, such as Tobias Myers, Cody Bradford or Pierce Johnson.


• Ty Adcock is a big fan of the song "I Resist Your Respect" by Cheap Spleens, but A.J. Preller is not impressed, and thinks it sounds too derivitive of Hand in Glove by the Smiths, which only goes to show that the Padres GM is not exactly a young guy anymore like Luis Campusano.


• The Diamondbacks are thinking of sending Juan Burgos down to AA just to show their minor leaguers that being placid or shifting your mouth is not acceptable behavior, whether in ballparks or in TV stations, and management, led by Mike Hazen, will not tolerate it from players, the team center fielder or even D Baxter, so that the recent jellyfish incident, or something like it, can never happen again.


• The Giants feel they have a competitive staff with Robbie Ray and Matt Gage, but they need Keaton Winn, whose obsession with refrigerators was in danger of becoming a distraction, to return to last year's level.
