I don't see the Nationals trading for Robertson.  Kinzler, maybe.

In what world is #5 or 8 and #63 or 83 plus 2 AAA roster fillers the haul you said Quintana would bring back?  I don't even want to visit there. Yes he brought the Sox a bit of talent to continue their rebuild of the farm system, but it is not the huge haul you predicted.

Quintana brought back #8, #63 and a couple of AAA roster fillers.  Not a huge haul. MLB.com rankings.  #'s 5 & 83 according to Baseball America.

Twins signed Bartolo Colon to a minor league deal.  If he has anything left, its going to be a bargain.  I don't hold out a lot of hope that he can help much, though.

She always said she appreciated the town's party -- she didn't have to clean up the mess. Seriously, she has been gone for 15 years and I still miss her.  She was a wonderful lady.

I might get a chance to see him play this season.  We'll see.

Last night, Albert Pujols joined an exclusive club when he hit his 600th homer.  He was the 4th youngest to reach that milestone and the only one to do it with a grand slam. Congrats, Albert.

He was 85 and had a stroke last fall.  He pitched for the Tigers and Phillies and won 224 games in his career.  When he retired, he was 2nd on the all-time strike out list with 2855.  Among his accomplishments were a perfect game and another no-hitter.  He was known for his durability, having...

I had a chance to see Berrios pitch in the low minors a few years back and was quite impressed.  He wasn't ready for prime time last season, but seems to be ready now.

The Twins are a bit better this year than last.  They are getting some hits from Sano and Eddie Rosario.  Kepler is doing pretty well also.  Santana is pitching well.

The Mets are a trainwreck right now.  Conforto is hitting really well, but they miss Cespedes a lot.  Their pitching is a mess.

I got one of the "fan packs" of Adrian Beltre when he was with the Dodgers for about $10.  I think it will turn out to be a very good investment.

Matook gets his first pinch hit with an RBI double in the bottom of the 8th.  He's now 1/9.

Per MLB Network, Ryan Howard just signed a minor-league deal with the Braves.  He will report to extended spring training and then be assigned to their AAA affiliate.

I have taught some kids to pitch at my local high school.  I never pitched much myself, as I have no command of any quality pitches, but I know how to show grips and how to spin the ball properly.  One of my kids threw an entire game without throwing a single four-seam fastball, using only his...

I'm really not sure a mandatory pitch count is a good idea.  Nolan Ryan said the way to build up arm strength is to throw the ball a lot.  He would have laughed at a pitch count.  If kids learn to spin the ball properly, with their fingers, not their elbows, they could throw 150+ pitches without...

He got off very lucky.  Chapman got a lot longer suspension.   I guess he and his wife cooperated with the MLB and their story was both consistent and credible.

I root for the game, not the players.  I watched quite a bit of the tournament, and enjoyed watching the kids do their thing.  Eddie Rosario looked really good for the PR team.  Some of the other kids really looked good as well.

Great game by Stroman.  Great win by the USA.  Nice to finally see team USA win the tournament.
