• Few places have been affected by the economy more than Atlanta, so don't look for Alex Anthopoulos to have much payroll flexibility, but if they can land a Seranthony Dominguez, Trevor Megill, or Zac Gallen (who Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen is reluctant to deal, but may if the right deal comes along), the Braves still have a chance.


• The Nationals are thinking of shifting Joey Wiemer to another position, perhaps second base, but that could change if Robert Hassell III recovers from his inflamed toenail more quickly than expected, or if Dylan Crews can learn to hit a two-seamer, which he is practicing to do off of Luis Perales and Julian Fernandez during batting practice.


• Understand, Seiya Suzuki could be like Carlos Cortes in the Cubs lineup, to fit in with Alex Bregman, Justin Dean, et al.


• The Rangers insist that Nathan Eovaldi's wart on the spleen is not serious, end he'll be available this weekend. They are fortunate that they have so deep a staff with Jacob deGrom and Cody Bradford.

ballad of dana brown

the Astros believe
that now that
           Brandon Walter

has thrown two
clueless games in a row

and if
           Carlos Correa

and others start hitting consistently

they have hope

and could go fishing for someone like
           Rafael Devers

but
if not

Nate Pearson

Bryan Abreu

(who is has come back from his
burst beard better
than ever)

and the ever-perilous
           Jake Meyers

et al could be available if
Dana Brown decides it's time to cash in the chips
