• Team song for the Athletics: People Get Ready by the Impressions.


• The Braves don't know what to expect from Reynaldo Lopez this year, whose "velocity is down to 65, and has lost the bite on the fastball," says one scout. If recovery fails, expect Alex Anthopoulos to pursue another arm, such as Parker Messick, Yoendrys Gomez or Adrian Houser.


• Right now, the hope for the season for the Astros is to try to develop AJ Blubaugh, Tatsuya Imai (who spent the offseason working in youth hostels), and Jake Meyers, and hope that Brice Matthews grows up and brings them something in a trade.


• For those Diamondbacks fans that marvel at what may be the best pitching staff in the game, but fear that pitchers like Michael Soroka, Paul Sewald -- who is so focused on his job that he can never remember to speculate about life itself -- and Brandon Pfaadt might get overused so much their arms turn into noodles, Arizona had only seven games in the last seven weeks in which they didn't use at least five pitchers. Simply whee.
