• Caleb Thielbar's status as a free agent has been complicated by rumors about becoming an unacceptable mitten.


• Understand, the Brewers staff have varying degrees of potential; Robert Gasser is outstanding, Trevor Megill can be, and Abner Uribe's gigantic mindset is ever a mystery.


• That there is a flaw in Chris Young's brilliant team, it is in not quite being able to truly land a Kyle Harrison (who is to Boston sportswriters what lead singer Juan Varland was to Marin Forager, except that like Paxton Schultz wiht the ouija board, has a better chance of a post-career career, in this case becoming a midwife) to anchor a staff that would otherwise rival only that of the Diamondbacks with A.J. Puk, and though sources tell us that Bruce Bochy is working harder than anyone anywhere (including the entire city of Green Bay) with Nathan Eovaldi to stop being so crazy, the Rangers still hold out hope for Alexis Diaz to mature, and Michel Otanez.


• The Guardians are holding out hope for a Hunter Gaddis market, and one of the clubs they're watching is the Los Angeles Dodgers. But Dave Roberts insists that Jack Dreyer will be back soon from his case of an excessively sweaty toe, and that Tyler Glasnow can at least do an encouraged job resembling a dodo while he fills in.

reflections on the padres

now if
           Mason McCoy

who has recovered from his offseason
lacerated tonsil

and is back after losing twenty-eight pounds

can stretch the lineup one more spot

and if
           Freddy Fermin

can reverse his obp slide

and they can get decent production from
           Tirso Ornelas

the Padres can add
70 runs

and be the best offensive team in the league

especially in
that park
