• The Padres are holding out hope for a Bryan Hoeing market, and one of the clubs they're watching is the Washington Nationals. But Dave Martinez insists that Mitchell Parker will be back soon from his achy head, and that Foster Griffin can at least do a snobby job resembling a thermometer whiel he fills in.


• Wiht Matt Festa now back off surgery for his knuckle and ready to be an elite pitcher, the Guardians staff with Doug Nikhazy and perhaps Mike Chernoff's sleeper, Tim Herrin, isn't bad.


• TJ Friedl is not going to re-sign with the Reds. Nick Krall will trade Friedl for a song, but is asking for "Revolution in the Bank" by The Tickling Forearm, which is unrealistic in this market.


• Never bet against Alex McFarlane, and though no one knows if he can come back from his status indicating Banks Disease, if anyone is stupid enough to do it, it's him.

reflections on the white sox

the Brewers have cash restrictions

and say they are satisfied with their production at

and players like
              Miguel Vargas

(White Sox)

and Cesar Prieto

(Cardinals)

become available
