    great trade for the braves. Frank Wren is a witch. between that trade and the Bourn trade he keeps bamboozling teams.

    Chris Carpenter will not pitch this season and is contemplating retirement.

    Bud Norris to the Cardinals?

    He should retire. All the injuries and this would be his age 38 season. He'll be loved in St. Louis for a long time.

    Wainwright
    Westbrook
    Lynn
    Garcia
    Miller

    That is still a quality rotation.

    Most likely to no-hit the 'stros: King Felix or Yu?

    Hope I'm wrong, but this year is going to suck :(

    Too much money.

    You know Verlander is sitting back watching these deals to Felix and Greinke thinking he might get $30M per season.

    Good deal for the Indians. Consider that he's averaged close to a 5 WAR over the last 4 seasons, while the man that replaced him in ATL at 5 years $75M has averaged just under a 2 WAR in the same timeframe.

    Maybe a landing place if the Astros want to move Wallace?

    Maybe. A short term "investment" for them. Or dare I say Carlos Pena? (Yeah, they just signed him but...)
